Walter J. Gehring

In this book, one of the world's most eminent developmental biologists discusses some of the exciting new insights into how genes control development. Walter Gehring describes in vivid detail his essential contributions to the landmark discovery of the homeobox, a characteristic DNA segment found in the genes of all higher organisms from the fruitfly to humans, and he explains how this has provided the key to our modern understanding of development and evolution. The book thus becomes not only a lucid discussion of genetics but also an engaging description of the art of scientific investigation.

Comprehensive text encompassing the entire field of surgical pathology in a single source. Its practice-oriented format integrates surgical pathology with cyto-pathology to present all the relevant features of a particular lesion or disease side by side. 3,200 clinical images (more than 3,000 in full color) depict basic morphology, immunofluorescence, gross specimens, and special cytochemical and histochemical stains.
