What a terrible book. It is probably the worst piece of medical literature I own. It is not only badly written, but also without any effort to try and make the topics just the least interesting.

Don't ever buy this book! If you study medicine, you can surely find the information elsewhere cheaper and way, way better! I did.

I do still own this book though, with the sole purpose, that it contains a lot of terrifying pictures of disabled fetuses and severely mutated newborns that I can show any couple that still doesn't think it hurts to smoke and drink alcohol during pregnancy. :) An overreaction and oversimplification I know, but hey, it works... ;)

বইটা ভালো । তবে আরও ভালো হতো যদি ছবিগুলি .GIF ফর্মেটে হতো .... হা হা হা ।

Embryology is a really tough subject to tackle. This book not only succeeds in explaining embryology, but it also provides a very helpful insight about the genetic bases of embryology.
All in all, this book is great. I highly recommend it.

just looking at the cover makes me want to go back to the blastocyst stage and not implant so I have no memory of this monstrosity

اونقدرام که فکر می کردم خر نبود
کتاب جالبی بود، شاید بخاطر اینکه این اواخر توی فامیل چندتا زایمان داشتیم و یک مورد نادر ژنتیکی هم داشتیم برایم جالب بود خواندن این کتاب.
البته خواندن اینجور کتاب ها به آنهایی که دل نازکی دارند توصیه نمی شود. از سر شب هر کس وارد اتاق من شد با حالت تهوع و حال زار بیرون رفت:))

Muy buena trama, aunque el final estuvo un poco flojo y el antagonista dejó mucho que desear.

i’d rather listen to ninja nerd for a full week than cram a page out of this

Idk why i read this. But i kinda sorta did. Skimmed through mostly. Bad idea. One of the toughest and densest books ive ever read in my LIFE. Not necessary and will not recommended for new med students. Too dense, too much fluff and most of it is for gynecologists and their understanding.
For embryology, stick to class notes.

[ahmad afridi · Rating 3 out of 5]

concise book and is enough for undergraduate. more emphasis is given on clinical aspects and molecular regulations(which I think is not required at undergraduate level ). the real problem is with its illustrations and without good illustrations the already confusing embryo becomes a headache and you start hating this interesting (which I discovered later) subject. from my personal experience I would recommend animations available on youtube and all this book would take your 2 or 3 days .

[Nina Jaquelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read parts of it that I needed for my embryology exam. Among all the other books I had to choose from, this one was the most helpful and I will definitely use it again for the upcoming exam as it made studying much easier and more interesting with detailed pictures and clinical examples.

This book was a nightmare for me.... I read it my second year of med school, oh my god, it was torture! I hated embryology! The book was too hard for me at that level... I would not recommend this, I suggest something simpler, since Embryology itself is complicated like crazy!

Not my favourite embryology book but I love the pictures.

I don't know why, but I never could love embryology...

2.5 stars

This book was recommended for my first year of grad medicine. I found it really tricky to follow, especially since I have such a limited background in the subject matter. Some of the information was useful, but I understood so little and it was just too overwhelming to use.

Not sure if I'd recommend it to others - I'll have to revisit it once I've learned more of my course.

Fejlődéstan. Tömör fejlődéstan.
Szép ábrák, néhol érdekesen magyarázta az egyes embriológiai vonatkozásokat, de egyszerűen túl mélyen tárgyalta a dolgokat személyes és orvosi egyetem standardokhoz mérve is. De tagadhatatlanul hihetetlen mennyiségű tudás van benne. Ha utálod magad, de lenyűgöz, hogy hogyan alakultál ki és mi-minek a maradványa a testedben, akkor sem ezt olvasnám.

No me gustó embrio pero si pasé los exámenes, si explica las cosas bien el libro solo que falta que haya no se como un glosario de palabras que se usan frecuentemente en el porque si me quedo como q q pedo? a media lectura.

Aside from being student-friendly, this book made me love embryology.

Rated it 4 stars only b/c this alone isn't sufficient for conceptual learning.

[Elena · Rating 4 out of 5]

Utilissimo, approfondito, con molte immagini. Lo userò per le mie lezioni. Io però ho letto la versione in italiano.

[Samuel Inbaraja · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best textbooks for embryology. Full of images and schematics to help understand embryonic growth from the single cell to birth.

spoiler alert : it sucks ass

this book is so poorly written, it probably took me more time to research each individual section than it did to actually write it

This book for me from the top of those books that i liked from Curriculum ever that we taken :) and i am really enjoyed from time of studying and even during exam , there are some positive points i feel from this book -* simple explaining that help us as a beginner for embryology , -* so many scientific image really helpful despite those from clinical images that they are really incredible , -* although there is chapter special for defects ( chapter 8 ) but in any system or organ developing re remind any defects and causes relate to this organ .
totally it was so attractive book that change lots of habits and angle of view in our mind and make us more sensitive to the environmental condition for pregnant women and lots of new and helpful information
Me as a dentistry student we took from this book whole chapters of ( part one (11-111 p. ) and 2 chapters from second part ( head and neck- p. 257 & central nervous system - p. 285 ) but iam really urge to take whole chapters i am waiting for some one helping me from any possible time .
as my opinion it should't be just recommend for medical student it will be so help ful for any one how try to have healthy pregnant time and healthy baby :) :)

Personalmente, no me gustó el libro. Siento que han de existir mejores versiones de este libro que hablen de la embriología de una manera no tan técnica y obtusa. No lo termine, y personalmente, no desearía terminarlo.

Hablando ahora de su valor médico, creo que otros títulos podrían ser mejores, pero no puedo recomendar alguno.
