| Instructor's comments about the book list: We will talk about textbooks the first day of classes. Copies of multiple editions of the Wolpert, Tickle, Martinez-Arias book will be on reserve, and you should have access to either the newest (6th) or 5th edition. Used copies are on sale, and you can also find them to rent. If you still have your textbook from Bio 200 written by Scott Gilbert, it will be a good resource, and you can use it in place of Wolpert. The goal is for you to have access to a basic developmental biology textbook to use. If you are not sure what you need, wait until our first class. |
