Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This textbook focuses on the molecules and mechanisms which underlie the developmental process, working from the molecular and cellular principles up to the complete organism, rather than the traditional top-down emphasis on the complete organism. The book's approach reflects recent literature and the advances in molecular biology in the last decade; it is a compelling modern way of looking at developmental biology.
MoreLong description:
An advanced undergraduate textbook focusing on the molecules and mechanisms which underlie the developmental process.
In recent years, the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying cellular behaviour have begun to be elucidated. Taking advantage of this new knowledge, Martinez Arias and Stewart here present developmental biology from a new standpoint: one in which the molecules and the genes that encode them, rather than the organisms, take centre stage.
This is a compelling modern way of looking at developmental biology. Starting with the genetic programs that underlie development and working up allows a better understanding of the logic of development.
