Atlas of Mouse Development

Book Description

Not since the early 1970s has there been an attempt to describe and illustrate the anatomy of the developing mouse embryo. More than ever such material is needed by biologists as they begin to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying development and differentiation. After more than ten years of painstaking work, Matt Kaufman has completed The Atlas of Mouse Development--the definitive account of mouse embryology and development.
For all those researching or studying mammalian development, The Atlas of Mouse Development will be the standard reference work for many years to come.

Key Features
* Provides a comprehensive sequential account of the development of the mouse from pre-implantation to term
* Contains clear and concise descriptions of the anatomical features relevant to each stage of development
* Large format for easy use
* Contains explanatory notes and legends, and more than 180 meticulously labeled plates, 1,300 photographs of individual histological sections, and 200 electron micrographs, illustrating:
* Intermittent serial histological sections through embryos throughout embryogenesis and organogenesis
* Differentiation of specific organs and organ systems, including the spinal cord, eyes, gonads, kidneys, lungs and skeletal system
* External appearance of intact embryos throughout development

Book Description

Recent media headlines about research misconduct in American Universities have focused public attention on the dramatic ethical problems that can arise during the conductof research. In the current atmosphere of accountability, scientific research on humans is now under increased scrutiny by the media, Congress and the public. Ethics of the Use of Human Subjects in Research fills the need for learning materials and strategies providing support for training programs related to the ethics of the use of human subjects in research. It presents a practical introduction to the ethical issues at stake in the conduct of research with human subjects. Beginning with a chapter on research ethics, a total of 10 chapters range in scope from the deveolopment of a protocol for ethical decision making to how to obtain IRB approval, with an emphasis on ethical factors underpinning the IRB process.

Critical Analysis.......2005-04-15

I believe that the subjects of this book were very well researched. The author's definitely seem to know what they are talking about. As a reader, I think that the evidence used was very strong and convincing although I think that certain parts needed more evidence. This book has not really altered my ideas of using human subjects in research, but I did add to my understanding of what is involved when it comes to research and human beings. Most of the book increased my knowledge of the subject and made me ask new questions, but there are certain parts that I feel covered things that most readers would already know. These parts of the book was frustrating to read. All in all, I really liked the book and I would have to recommend this book to others if they have an interest in this topic.

Not so much.......2006-08-23

While this is full of information, it wasn't really what I was looking for. This might be good for kids over 10/12, however it's presented w/ silly science experiments that they may be too cool for, by that age.
Basically, it's complex science w/ silly experiments. My daughter likes doing the experiments, but she doesn't get much out of them because the science is too advanced.

Be demanding like your children.......2006-07-17

My five year old is fascinated by the human body so I bought this book in additon to a basic anatomy book, What's the Big Secret? by Laura Krasny Brown and Marc Brown (creator of Arthur books), The Magic School Bus Inside Ralphie and The Human Body by Dr. Marie Rose.

The experiments featured in this book don't take very long to conduct and use the most basic household materials. Not all the experiments seemed instructive for his age but I'm looking forward to future explorations with him.

Because I have such a young audience, I had think up further applications of the concepts presented in order to make the experiments a more effective learning experience for him. For instance, the model lung we made effectively showed how the diaphragm allows us to take air into our lungs but what made a lasting impression was when I showed him how the diaphragm moves during a hiccup. Why wasn't this suggested in the book? A couple weeks later my son showed me how our neighbor smokes 'sticks' so I filled the model lung with molasses to represent how 'soot' from cigarette smoking interferes with lung expansion. The molasses made the model useless (and sticky) vividly demonstrating how 'soot' interferes with oxygen intake. I suspect VanCleave could come up with a better experiment to demonstrate how smoking harms lungs.

Other experiments are not as didactic but create intrigue about the human body. Both my five year old and three year old were thoroughly engrossed in an experiment from the chapter about modified skin cells (hair and nails) that involved testing the strength of different hair types. Although the hair experiment is memorable it's the only experiment offered in a chapter that really peaked their interest.

This book is a valuable part of our home library but I give it only three stars because my kids want to know more so I figure I should demand a little more from the title.

TRUELY a book for any kid, any age.......2000-06-12

A great teaching tool. This informative and well illustrated book is a great homeschool tool. We homeschool 4 children ages 5 to 12 and this book is adaptable to all levels of learning. Exercises and activities will keep your kids wanting to move to the next chapter. Each of the major systems of the human body are presented in a clear and understandable way. Janice VanCleave takes you and your child from human cell division all the way to reproduction.(no explicit graphics used). We particularly enjoyed the chapters on the human brain where there are many hands on activities to give the kids a better understanding of how the brain works. If you have kids and your trying to teach them something about human anatomy, THIS IS THE BOOK TO GET.

Best preschool science series!.......2007-05-29

I am a science teacher and I absolutely adore the Janice VanCleave science series.
It is HIGHLY appropriate for the early childhood set.
Older kids - 7 and up may find it too babyish however.
Every topic starts out with a question: i.e. I wonder why hair is curly and straight... And then it leads you through a very age appropriate/simple experiment and a few enrichment activities...
Each topic then ends in a very short explanation... The book has illustrations and each question is maybe 3 pages long total, before it goes on to another question.
I HIGHLY reccomend it as the BEST science series that I know of for young children. Experiences are the best science learning tools for this age.. more than reading non-fiction and such, although that has benefits as well..
Buy these books!!

Great Book!.......2001-02-01

I checked this book out at my library and loved it so much I plan to purchase one. I home school my preschooler. This book was perfect. My child enjoyed the experiments. It's nice to have educational books like this geared directly at the younger child. I spend a great deal of time researching the internet and the library to find good science activities for us. This and the remaining books in the series will definatly be added to our home library and should save me some time.

I love this book!.......2000-09-16

The experiements in this book are simple, yet answer the question wonderfully. My children (4,6,7) all enjoyed the activities, which lasted just long enough for their short attention span. Best suited for young children (5 yrs old), I would recommend this to any Parent of a preschool child.

A great book to introduce pre-schoolers to the body........1998-10-28

This book is a good introduction to the human body for very young children. I attempted to interest my children in the book (6 and 9 years old), but ready answers to the books questions came from their own personal knowledge not the book. They were not interested in the "Let's find out!" portion and came up with their own experiments to investigate the questions.

I suppose that a child with little natural curiosity would find this book interesting. But if you are trying to introduce new concepts to your children there are better bets.

The Bridge To Help You & Your Child Learn In a Fun Way.......2000-03-28

I had the privilege of using this book as a guideline for teaching a group of "home school" youngsters from 1st-9th grade. Science can be a scary subject to those of us who remember the mean and fierce physics/chemistry/biology teacher. Mr. Parker makes science enjoyable and exciting creating a feeling of glad anticipation for the next lesson. The experiments are easy and help the children visually see the workings of this majestic creation called the human body. My students specifically enjoyed the experiment having to do with how the inner ear works. Please do yourself and your kids a favor by buying this book. You will learn to love science for the first time in your life.
