1	Climbing Mount Improbable more books like this by Richard Dawkins "Mount Improbable" is Dawkins's metaphor for natural selection, and the central message of this text is that DNA transcends the significance of the organism, and that organisms are merely vehicles for genes. see all copies from $2.34! new only from $9.79! \| signed copies \| first editions \| SVS
2	Presence of the Past: Morphic Resonance and the Habits of Nature more books like this by Rupert Sheldrake Challenging the fundamental assumptions of modern science, this ground-breaking radical hypothesis suggests that nature itself has memory. Sheldrake's hypothesis has been featured in Science, Nature, New Scientist, USA TODAY, and Newsweek. Drawings and photos throughout. see all copies from $6.95! new only from $14.42! \| first editions \| SVS
3	Presence of the Past more books like this by Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D. This book develops the revolutionary theory that behaviour and social systems are not only governed by immutable and mechanistic laws, which is the traditional viewpoint, but also by habits transmitted by nature's inherent memory. Rupert Sheldrake's hypothesis is that all natural systems from crystals to man inherit a collective memory of their ... see all copies from $3.98! new only from $18.20! \| signed copies \| first editions \| SVS

5	Order and life more books like this by Joseph Needham This volume, which is based on the Terry Lectures delivered at Yale University in 1935, deals with the problem of the unity of natural knowledge. It considers the cleavage between the inorganic and biological sciences, and between the theology of intelligibility and that of inexplicability. Under the heading "The Nature of Biological Order" it ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $60.05! \| first editions \| SVS
6	Patterns in Plant Development more books like this by Taylor A Steeves, Ian M Sussex Patterns in Plant Development offers an introduction to the development of the whole plant. It is essentially a factual book that describes the complex phenomena of development in vascular plants. The point of view is structural, and emphasis is placed on the experimental approach to development. The book deals with lower vascular plants (e.g. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.45! \| first editions \| SVS

8	Inborn Errors of Development: The Molecular Basis of Clinical Disorders of Morphogenesis more books like this by Charles J Epstein (Editor), Robert P Erickson (Editor), Anthony Wynshaw-Boris (Editor) Disorders that affect tissue differentiation, organogenesis, and morphogenesis constitute a significant proportion of human hereditary diseases. Until very recently, however, their genetic causes and pathogenesis have been unknown. Now, with the elucidation of the molecular pathways that govern developmental processes and with advances in gene ... see all copies from $16.95! new only from $21.35!
9	The Origin of Animal Body Plans more books like this by Wallace Arthur Neo-Darwinism currently occupies a dominant position in evolutionary thought. While this theory has considerable explanatory power, it is widely recognized as being incomplete in that it lacks a component dealing with individual development, or ontogeny. This is particularly conspicuous in relation to attempts to explain the evolutionary origin of ... see all copies from $12.39! new only from $46.64! \| first editions \| SVS

11	Torrey's Morphogenesis of the Vertebrates more books like this by Professor Alan Feduccia, Edward McCrady Designed as a textbook for any course that combines comparative vertebrate anatomy and embryology. The book begins with an overview of evolution and embryology, followed by a discussion on development and finally covering each organ system from both a morphogenesis and comparative anatomy standpoint. see all copies from $13.99! new only from $123.49! \| SVS
12	The Vortex of Life: Nature's Patterns in Space and Time more books like this by Lawrence Edwards Building on his earlier research Lawrence Edwards examines the influence of celestial motion on the form of plants, embryos, and the heart. His statistical analysis of bud shapes, begun in the 1960s, leads him to suggest that all living forms are affected by patterns in time as well as space, with all of life and nature passing through vast cycles ... see all copies from $26.27! new only from $33.38! \| first editions \| SVS
13	Developmental Biology more books like this by Leon W Browder (Editor) Comprehensive introduction for majors course in developmental biology or embryology. Material covered includes gene control of development, cell interections in development, organogenesis, and morphogenesis. Emphasis is on determinative events essential for subsequent processes of differentation. Discusses key experiments from primary literature. ... see all copies from $1.99! first editions

15	The cellular and molecular biology of pattern formation more books like this by Stocum, Karr The mechanisms that control region-specific and axial patterning of cell differentiation during embryogenesis have fascinated experimental biologists for over 100 years. This book describes recent advances in our knowledge of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of pattern formation. The book describes research on the two main conceptual ... see all copies from $4.85! new only from $31.00! \| first editions
16 view cover	Morphogenesis and Evolution more books like this by Thomson Today, developmental and evolutionary biologists are focusing renewed attention on the developmental process, specifically those genetic and cellular factors which influence variation in individual body shape or metabolism. They are attempting to understand better how evolutionary trends and patterns within individuals might be limited and ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $96.15! \| first editions \| SVS
