{"product_id":"9781108799232-understanding-development","title":"Understanding Development","description":"\u003cp\u003eDevelopmental biology is seemingly well understood, with development widely accepted as being a series of programmed changes through which an egg turns into an adult organism, or a seed matures into a plant. However, the picture is much more complex than that: is it all genetically controlled or does environment have an influence? Is the final adult stage the target of development and everything else just a build-up to that point? Are developmental strategies the same in plants as in animals? How do we consider development in single-celled organisms? In this concise, engaging volume, Alessandro Minelli, a leading developmental biologist, addresses these key questions. Using familiar examples and easy-to-follow arguments, he offers fresh alternatives to a number of preconceptions and stereotypes, awakening the reader to the disparity of developmental phenomena across all main branches of the tree of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48961249411291,"sku":"9781108799232","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b8536a4e-c979-4ab7-93f7-b20543a068dc.jpg?v=1783603854","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781108799232-understanding-development","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
