Drosophila geneticist, Lewis I. Held, Jr has written a trilogy of books. All three books are encyclopedic but accessible in their exposition: scholarly, yet light-hearted. Overall this timely trilogy should appeal to a broad audience, from undergraduates to experts, especially young researchers aspiring to solve deep mysteries.

This book provides a comparison of the genetic circuits of Homo sapiens and Drosophila melanogaster reveals the evidence for deep homology, from the field of evolutionary developmental biology. Individual body parts including the nervous system, limbs and heart are compared in chapters that also feature concept maps and encyclopaedic tables to aid learning.

Taking inspiration from Kipling's 'Just So Stories', this book explores emerging insights from evo-devo to explain the science behind tiger stripes, camel humps, and many other fascinating animal traits. Held's unique and engaging style makes this narrative both enlightening and entertaining, guiding students and researchers through even complex concepts.

Examines the genetic circuitry of the 'fruit fly', tackling the hows and the whys behind fly development.

With the emergence of the new field of evolutionary developmental biology we are witnessing a renaissance of Darwin's insights 150 years after his On the Origin of Species. Thus far, the exciting findings from 'evo-devo' have only been trickling into college courses and into the domain of non-specialists. With its focus on the human organism, Quirks of Human Anatomy opens the floodgates by stating the arguments of evo-devo in plain English, an...

Introduces students to basic concepts in evolutionary developmental biology, for undergraduate and graduate courses.
