圖書描述

  A classic gets a new coauthor and a new approach: Developmental Biology, Eleventh Edition, keeps the excellent writing, accuracy, and enthusiasm of the Gilbert Developmental Biology book, streamlines it, adds innovative electronic supplements, and creates a new textbook for those teaching Developmental Biology to a new generation. Several new modes of teaching are employed in the new Gilbert and Barresi textbook. The videos explaining development--as well as those from Mary Tyler's Vade Mecum--are referenced throughout the book, and several other valuable new elements have been added.
 
  Additional updates include:
  * An increased emphasis on stem cells, which are covered extensively and early in the book.
  * Sex determination and gametogenesis, instead of being near the end of the volume, are up front, prior to fertilization.
  * Greatly expanded coverage of neural development, comprising a unit unto itself.
  * Coverage of new experiments on morphogenesis and differentiation, as well as new techniques such as CRISPR.

  Scott Gilbert's Developmental Biology has metamorphosed into the Gilbert and Barresi Developmental Biology. Even the axes have changed. The book has a new phenotype, which should make it easier to customize one's developmental biology course to the needs and interests of today's students. Michael Barresi brings his creativity and expertise as a teacher and as an artist of computer-mediated learning to the book, integrating the print with electronic interviews, videos, and tutorials. He also brings to the book new ideas in education, such that there are shorter chapters, more websites, and alternative ways of teaching animal development. There is also more emphasis on stem cells, which are brought to the front of the book; sex determination and gametogenesis, instead of being near the end of the volume, are now up front, as well. There are several new modes of teaching that the new Gilbert and Barresi textbook now makes accessible. The videos explaining development-as well as Mary Tyler's laboratory manual and Vade Mecum-are fully integrated into the book, and several other valuable new elements have been added: - Opening Question and Photo: Inviting the student into the text and engaging curiosity, each chapter begins with a photograph and short question that will be revisited throughout the chapter and in a summary paragraph at the end. - The Punchline: More than a chapter outline, this opening paragraph provides the student with a quick overview of the big principles that will be exemplified in the chapter. - Dev Tutorials: A teacher you can take with you, each chapter will be accompanied by a professionally produced video tutorial by the authors that reinforce the key concepts. Each video is also supplemented with an in-class case study activity. - Watch Developments: Putting concepts into action, these informative videos show real-life developmental biology processes. - Developing Questions: Building on topics explained in the text.

從排版設計這個「外觀」來看,這本書的風格是相當保守的,典型的歐美學術用書樣式——厚實、密集的文字區塊,以及穿插在文字間的結構圖。色彩的使用非常節製,主要目的是確保圖錶的準確性,而不是為瞭視覺上的吸引力。這點在某些方麵是優點,它讓注意力集中在內容本身,不會被過度美化的插圖分散心神。然而,在討論涉及複雜三維空間結構的細胞遷移或形態發生時,如果沒有足夠清晰、多角度的圖示輔助,對於習慣瞭動畫模擬和虛擬實境展示的我們來說,閱讀體驗就會顯得有些枯燥和抽象。我常常需要自己上網搜尋相關的動畫影片,纔能真正理解書本上靜態的箭頭和線條代錶的動態過程。這說明瞭傳統印刷媒介在傳達動態生物學信息上的侷限性,即使是第十一版,這種基本限製依然存在。

评分

這第十一版的編排方式,其實也反映瞭學術界對「發育」這個主題的理解正在不斷地演變。我特別注意到,在關於器官發育的那幾個章節裡,作者群試圖去融閤傳統的形態學觀察和最新的基因編輯技術所帶來的衝擊。這是一個非常高難度的平衡術。他們努力想在尊重歷史上那些奠基性的發現的同時,也要納入CRISPR技術如何徹底改變我們研究發育機製的路徑。但老實說,這種平衡有時候顯得有點僵硬。你會感覺到,某些章節的論述是基於數十年前的經典模型,而後麵的章節突然跳躍到最新的單細胞定序結果,兩者之間的過渡不夠平滑。作為一個需要準備期末報告的學生,我希望能看到更多整閤性的案例分析,而不是單純的知識點羅列,這樣纔能更好地理解不同技術層麵如何交織在一起,共同描繪發育的藍圖。它給瞭你工具的說明書,但沒有教你如何用這些工具蓋一棟房子。

评分

翻開這本大部頭,最讓我印象深刻的是它對於「規律性」的描述,簡直是钜細靡遺到一個令人敬畏的程度。它不像有些教科書會為瞭追求閱讀流暢度而過度簡化複雜的分子機製,這本書的作法是,它選擇將每一個發育事件背後的調控網絡,用近乎工程學的精確度把它拆解開來,然後層層堆疊迴去。對於那些追求極緻精準的理工背景學生來說,這無疑是一本寶庫。然而,對於剛從基礎生物學過渡過來的新鮮人,可能會在一開始的幾章就遭遇嚴重的挫摺感。那種密集的術語轟炸,加上大量的信號傳導路徑圖,如果不配閤大量的課堂講解或額外的參考文獻輔助,光靠自學,真的是一場硬仗。我們這群在亞洲體係下長大的學生,習慣瞭從「宏觀」到「微觀」的漸進式引導,這本書的敘事邏輯,似乎更偏嚮於直接切入「微觀」的核心,再往外擴展。這讓我在試圖建立整體概念時,花瞭比預期更多的時間去消化那些微小零件的功能。

评分

這本《發展生物學》第十一版,老實說,光是看到書名和厚度,就讓人頭皮發麻。我記得當年剛開始接觸這領域時,手邊那本舊版的教科書,簡直就是一本磚頭,現在電子書這麼方便,實體書的版本還能推到第十一代,可見得它在學術界的地位有多麼根深蒂固。不過,從颱灣學生的角度來看,這本書的內容編排,雖然紮實到一個不行,但有時候總覺得少瞭那麼一點點親切感。畢竟,我們學校的課程設計,有時候會更側重於亞洲地區的生物模型,像是斑馬魚的實驗數據可能比較多,但對一些颱灣本土或鄰近地區常用的模式生物著墨較少,這在使用上稍微有點距離感。再者,那些經典的實驗案例固然重要,但對於一個想快速掌握當前研究趨勢的學生來說,有時候會覺得新進展的討論深度不夠,或者更新的速度沒有跟上最新的科學期刊的速度。總體而言,它絕對是建立知識體係的基石,但要說它是最「貼近」我們日常學習需求的工具書,可能還需要讀者自己去補足一些在地化的脈絡和最新的研究熱點。

评分

整體來說,這本《發展生物學》第十一版,給我的感覺就像是一本極其詳盡的百科全書,而不是一本引人入勝的故事書。它的權威性毋庸置疑,它涵蓋的知識廣度與深度,足以支撐任何高階的研究生課程。但對於身處於競爭激烈、資訊爆炸時代的颱灣學習者而言,我們需要的可能不僅僅是知識的廣度,還有如何高效、有策略地吸收這些知識的方法論。這本書提供瞭最堅實的知識基礎,但對於「如何學」這個環節,它給予的指導卻相對較少。它要求讀者具備高度的自律性和獨立思考能力,纔能駕馭其龐大的內容體係。它不會主動引導你產生好奇心,而是等待你帶著問題來嚮它尋求解答。因此,如果你已經準備好麵對一場硬仗,渴望建立一個無懈可擊的學術框架,那麼它絕對是值得投資的;但如果隻是想對發育生物學有個初步的認識,或許會覺得負擔過重瞭。
