Description
The Triumph of the EmbryoEach of us begins our path in life as a single cell. Just thinking about this common process can fill us with a sense of wonder and raise a host of questions. How does an egg cell multiply to develop into a human being, an animal, or a plant? How do cells form a brain, a face, a hand? And how does the pattern continue generation after generation? With great insight and unwavering enthusiasm, biology professor Lewis Wolpert presents this complex
Each of us begins our path in life as a single cell. Just thinking about this common process can fill us with a sense of wonder--and raise a host of questions. How does an egg cell multiply to develop into a human being, an animal, or a plant? How do cells form a brain, a face, a hand? And how does the pattern continue generation after generation? With great insight and unwavering enthusiasm, biology professor Lewis Wolpert presents this complex subject in a "clear and engagingly written book" (Nature) that even the layman can understand.Illuminating the subject with twelve remarkable full-page photographs and numerous informative illustrations, this landmark guide shows the separation, growth, and differentiation of various cells and body parts in the embryonic stage. Simple descriptions of Wolpert's experimental studies offer fascinating insights into topics such as aging, cancer, regeneration, and evolution. Addressing the mysteries that face modern biologists--and all of mankind--The Triumph of the Embryo is a "fascinating read for anyone curious about the replication and development of life"--(Science News). A new preface has been provided by the author.

So much fun
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
Best money ever spent hours of fun. We have 3 dogs. They all love to play with this toy. We got the size 3 large is what we ordered. I'm not going to lie I thought it would be bigger when I ordered it. Two of our dogs are large breeds and the other is medium. It's not too big for the medium to play with it. It comes with a ball pump included so convenient. The little tabs are very durable. I can't recommend this enough. This has no squeaking or any sounds. It's nice that you can play with your four legged companion or you can have them play tug or just enjoy pushing the ball around. It is very versatile in play and stimulation.

Not for chewers
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Yellow, Size: 8 Inch, Color: Yellow
My dog managed to pop this and completely chew through it in a matter of 4 days. It was definitely cute and she loved the size of it but with her chewing all the way to the core we have to get rid of it. I thought it was a good material but I guess I was wrong. Kind of sad considering the money spent only lasted 4 days

Great dog toy
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Pink
The amount of stupid and cute these dogs look like when they shake this ball and smack their own faces! It took a hot second for either dog to understand where to bite on the ball, but now that they do, they both will play with it for a while. Great purchase, came with a pump to blow the ball up.

Great, durable toy
Color: Blue-Red, Size: Extra Large Size 5 (9")
I’ve had this toy for a while now and my dog absolutely loves it. I frequently bring it to the dog park with us and it’s also loved by other dogs. The ball is pretty durable. My dog is not a big chewer but other dogs that play and chew on it haven’t been able to pierce it yet. The handles are sturdy and also still intact. Overall a little pricey but in my opinion worth it.
