Customer Reviews

Concise, comprehensive, and clinical

Good book. Better than Langeman's (SP?), which is just a bunch of droning about pathways. This is more developmental biology on a macro level.

Well written and great resource for experienced readers

This is an excellent embryology text IF you already have some background in medical anatomy, morphology, or embryology. Otherwise I reccomend "Before we are born" by the same authors. Same information but less dense and more easily read by a lay audience. The Developing Human is a very dense text and it has excellent clinical correlations in each chapter. This is a book intended for medical or graduate students, so be pack your lunch before sitting down to go through a chapter. I like the illustrations, but some of them (the cross sections) will require a bit of mental gymnastics before they become clear - but once you get it, they are a very helpful way to understand how the 3D structures are being represented. The new edition has expanded some chapters, simplified SOME of the concepts, and most importantly, it keeps current with new developments in the field and nomenclature. I teach medical gross anatomy, embryology, and musculoskeletal system courses to first year medical students.

Great condition

Book was sent in timely manner and in great condition just like described.

The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology

THIS BOOK HAS REALLY HELPED TO UNDESTAND ABOUT EMBRYOLOGY WITH RESPECT TO THE HOLY QURAN , A HOLY SCRIPTURE OF MUSLIMS. I AM A DIETICIAN AND PERSONALLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A BOOK WITH LEAST ERRORS FOR ONLY THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND...........

Easy to all people, including non-medical students

I highly recommend this book to all starters at embryology. But don't forget to buy an extra atlas, since the diagrams in this book need lots of imagination to understand.
