This popular text makes it surprisingly easy for you to gain an in-depth understanding of human embryology. Engaging and richly illustrated, it examines all aspects of human development, emphasising both basic concepts and relevant clinical problems. It presents a week-by-week and stage-by-stage view of how foetal organs and systems develop, why and when birth defects occur, and the roles the placenta and fetal membranes play in development.

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."
