Trying to get my hands on "Wolpert's Principles of Development" (a.k.a. "Principles of Development 7th edition")

LibGen doesn't have it. The 6th edition is from 2019, and the 7th is from 2025, and I suspect a lot may have happened in 6 years (also, the 7th edition is like ~30% bigger than 6th edition which I already got)

Any suggestions?

Xenobots are microscopic, programmable biological machines constructed entirely from living cells without any genetic modification. Measuring less than a millimeter, they lack traditional mechanical parts and are entirely organic, biodegradable, and derived primarily from embryonic stem cells of the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis).
