Product Description
This book presents in-depth coverage of both the clinical and molecular biological aspects of human development. It examines the relationship between basic science and embryology, and describes potential clinical disorders arising out of embryologic problems. A strong clinical focus, practical design, and superb artwork-with more than 150 images new to this edition-allow for quick comprehension and easy application of the latest knowledge in this rapidly advancing field. A user-friendly design enables you to review the material in several ways, and online access to Student Consult enhances your study of the subject and exponentially boosts your reference power.
- Follows a user-friendly design allowing students to review material in flexible ways and instructors to tailor the book to their specific needs.
- Reflects the most current advances in molecular biology and genetics.
- Offers chapters with illustrated timelines of the relevant embryologic stage.
- Contains a high-quality full-color art program, with excellent line diagrams with a three-dimensional aspect, many color photographs of clinical disorders, excellent black and white electronphotomicrographs, and line drawings showing sequential stages of development.
- Presents clinical cases in each chapter that place the content into a real-life context.
- Begins each chapter with a summary providing at-a-glance reference to key information.
- Features Clinical Tasters following the summaries at the start of each chapter that present a clinical case example related to the material for that chapter.
- Offers new chapters covering morphogenesis and dysmorphogenesis, for expanded explanations of the making of an embryo, focusing on cell-cell signaling pathways.
- Emphasizes important content through clinical (In the Clinic) and research (In the Lab) boxes - many new to this edition.
- Concludes each chapter with lists of references for further in-depth study.

 Great book June 5, 2010
Christopher D. Rice (USA)
This is a great book esp. if you've never had embryology before (like me). I used this in my first year of med school and it served me very well. I borrowed Langmans from a friend but had a really hard time understanding the text. It's super short and doesn't explain things nearly as well as this book but if you've already had some embryology I can see how some might prefer Langmans- it's very short and concise. Larsen's is a bit wordy, and long but it was helpful to me.

This book is great for going over the subject a first time through. The main text sections aren't so long and thick that you can't read them (a usual problem), but are interspersed with lots of further detail which you can take or leave. Some of the molecular detail is a bit much if you're not an embryology researcher, but is good as a reference. My main qualm with this version compared with past ones is that the chapters are oddly organized. It takes apart elements that should be in the same chapter together (and their all-pertinent drawings!) and splices them around the book. The "Fetus as a Patient" chapter should be at the end, after the development is completely elucidated, and not shoved somewhere towards the beginning. Why did they take out the old glossary that used to be at the end of the book?
Otherwise, great book!
