Combining more than 140 images of life-like models based on the latest science, computer-generated illustrations, and 3D ultrasound images with an uplifting, informative text, In the Womb is a week-by-week chronicle of the mysterious, magical progress from embryo to fetus to full-term infant.

Each spread features a central image and information about that particular stage as well as brief commentary explaining what we know and how we know it. For example, at 24 weeks we watch a fetus open and close her eyes, display facial expressions resembling a grimace and a frown, and stick out her tongue (no one has yet established exactly why). And during the last trimester, we learn, she experiences REM sleep and can hear loud noises through the fluids of her mother's body—a first hint of the world that awaits outside the womb.

Based on National Geographic's acclaimed television program, originally aired in 2005 and soon to be supplemented with two more 2-hour segments, In the Womb is the perfect gift for expectant parents and a fascinating perspective for anyone captivated by the miracle of life.]]> 19905 1 21104 26 9 2006 In the Womb: Witness the Journey from Conception to Birth through Astonishing 3D Images total:19|5:11|4:6|3:2| 19 85 22 6 11852 4.46 26 10 69170818 1541171 19905 142620003X 9781426200038 6 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167290289m/19905.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167290289s/19905.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19905.In_the_Womb_Witness_the_Journey_from_Conception_to_Birth_through_Astonishing_3D_Images 4.47 19
