About this title

Review:

"...packed with excellent and colourful pictures of explaining how the various structures develop and change with time...Basically this is a good choice for someone who likes embryology and wants to get a good mark, not just a pass." Medical Student, University of Nottingham, UK (review of previous edition)

BMA Book Awards 2008 - Highly Commended

"An up-to-date textbook on embryology for medical students with a relevance far beyond that. There is abundant illustration of the text and extensive clinical correlation. An extremely accessible book that has a lot more clinical correlation than its previous editions. It’s a pleasure to use."
