Customer Reviews

Good investment!
As a medical student, this book has solved the mystery to embryology & made the subject understandable & actually enjoyable.

Concise, well written, clear pictures and easy to read. (What more do you want?)

Q&A at the end of each chapter really helps re-emphasising the main points.

One of the best embryology book around!

Get this book with the Simbryo CD.
This is a great embryology book. It is well written, detailed and easy to understand. Each chapter has clinical correlates and problems to solve, to reinforce what was learnt. The diagrams are great. The best feature of this book is the animated CD-ROM - SIMBRYO with animation of the embryological development of each system as well as the early weeks - gastrulation etc. At the back of the book are the answers to the problems at the end of each chapter with full explanations. This book makes studying embryology fun.

Langmans Medical Embryology
Really wordy book, quite hard to understand embryology from a book alone due to it not being able to show every process of the folding etc of the disk and movement of parts of the embryo. It tells you everything but a really good supplement is The Embryonic Disk from UCL. Made things much easier. Its probably the best book out there but there is still room for improvement by someone out there.
