The Anatomical Basis of Mouse Development
- Book Review,
by Matthew H. Kaufman, Jonathan B.L. Bard
From Book News, Inc.
This anatomical resource details mouse developmental anatomy. A companion to , it discusses the early embryo, the transitional tissues, all the major organ systems, and comparisons between normal and abnormal human development. It also includes extensive reference indexes detailing developmental stage criteria, when tissues first appear, the constituent tissues of embryos at each of the 16 Theiler stages, as well as tissue and author indexes and a glossary. Contains about 100 line drawings. Oversize: 8.50x11.75. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
Richard R. Behringer, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, in Cell, September 1999
"It will become an instant classic for the field."
Review
"The magnificent book now presented by Matthew Kaufman and Jonathan Bard may be taken as the authoritative statement on mouse embryology, based on a lifetime of study...this fine book is essential for all molecular biologists, geneticists and developmental biologists using the mouse as a model, especially if they have little anatomical background."

Book Description
This book is an essential anatomical resource for developmental biologists who need to know about any aspect of mouse developmental anatomy, as well as for geneticists using the mouse embryo as a model. The book is a companion to Kaufman's The Atlas of Mouse Development, and details the developmental anatomy of the early embryo, the transitional tissues, and all the major organ systems. It also provides extensive comparisons with human developmental anatomy, both normal and abnormal. The book has extensive reference indexes detailing developmental stage criteria.
The Anatomical Basis of Mouse Development will be a key reference work for anyone who needs to understand developmental anatomy in normal and mutant mice.
Key Features
* Complements Kaufman's The Atlas of Mouse Development
* Gives anatomical descriptions from oogenesis to birth, at a level of detail that goes beyond that found in most literature
* Provides detailed explanations for geneticists and molecular biologists with limited anatomical background to help them understand the emergence of all the major structures in the mouse embryo
* Contains comprehensive indexes detailing the appearance of over 1000 organs, tissues, and their components at different stages of mouse embryogenesis
* Includes comparisons with normal and abnormal human development
* Contains over 100 clear line diagrams showing mouse developmental anatomy as well as lineage relationships for the major organ systems
Book Info

From the Back Cover
The Anatomical Basis of Mouse Development by Kaufman and Bard is an essential anatomical resource for developmental biologists needing to know about any aspect of mouse developmental anatomy, as well as for geneticists using the
mouse embryo as a model. This book is a companion to Kaufman's The Atlas of Mouse Development and details the developmental anatomy of the early embryo, the transitional tissues, and all the major organ systems. It also includes extensive reference indexes detailing developmental stage criteria, when tissues first appear, and the constituent tissues of embryos at each of the 26 Theiler stages, as well as tissue and author indexes and a glossary.
Key features:
* Gives anatomical descriptions from oogenesis to birth at a level of detail that often goes beyond that found in the literature.
* Provides detailed explanations for geneticists and molecular biologists with limited anatomical background to help them understand the emergence of all the major structures in the mouse embryo.
* Contains comprehensive indexes detailing the appearance of over 1000 organs, tissues and their components at different stages of mouse embryogenesis, together with the Theiler developmental stages (1-26) at which each first appears.
* Includes comparisons with normal and abnormal human development
* Has over 100 clear line diagrams showing mouse developmental anatomy as well as lineage relationships for the major organ systems.
This book will be a key reference work for anyone who needs to understand developmental anatomy in normal and mutant mice.
