This book presents information with both breadth and depth; the reader comes away with an extraordinary wealth of information on embryology and its situation in the wider fields of human growth and development, reproduction, and perinatal health.

"Concise" is not exactly the word I would use to describe the text, and some of the language seems almost deliberately obfuscating. On the other hand, though the case studies are engaging and interesting, they may be a bit elementary for those deeper in their studies.

Is this intended as an introductory-level text for an undergraduate audience? Or is this a more specialized text for higher-level learners? The structure of the text seems to reach the former; the lexicon, the latter.

Overall, an interesting and engaging textbook. Learned a lot. Won't likely re-read.
