The appearance of a textbook is often the culmination of a long process moving a subject from the fringes to the center of a discipline, or perhaps the coalescence of a discipline.Ecological Developmental Biologyis such a milestone. --Samuel M. Scheiner,EvolutionBrilliantly conceived and executed … I applaud Gilbert and Epel for so clearly showing the rapid methodological and theoretical changes in developmental biology and the corresponding impact on evolutionary theory. Their portrait of these contemporary sciences signifies an important movement of the conceptual parameters by which all biologists might reconsider their governing concepts, teach their science, and practice their craft. --Alfred I. Tauber,Perspectives in Biology and MedicineGilbert and Epel's work contains a wealth of fascinating information about the biological world, described in a crystal-clear and engaging writing style and with informative, aesthetic figures. This, together with its clear and comprehensive structure, makes the book a didactic masterpiece. … Read it and be inspired! Highly conceptual, thought-provoking and beautiful this is biology at its best. --Christine Hassler,Lab TimesBrilliantly conceived and executed … I applaud Gilbert and Epel for so clearly showing the rapid methodological and theoretical changes in developmental biology and the corresponding impact on evolutionary theory.
