4.0 out of 5 stars
The best way to learn embryology...,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Before We Are Born : Essentials of Embryology and Birth Defects,(5th Edition) (Paperback)
This book had the BEST pictures. In fact, just this year our veterinary school switched the required text from Langman's Medical Embryology (a very human-centered book) to Before We Are Born. I think the best way to learn about how the embryo develops is to actually see things happening...a professor can say "then the dermatomes extend out from the somites..." but it really doesn't mean much unless you can SEE it. Before We Are Born really does this well, taking a step-by-step approach to learning the processes of developmental biology. The illustrations are clear, and they try to make them as 3-D looking as possible. If you're taking a developmental biology or embryology course, you NEED this book!

This review is from: Before We Are Born : Essentials of Embryology and Birth Defects,(5th Edition) (Paperback)
I absolutely agree with Michelle Lee (one of the reviewers above) that it is essential to SEE what is happening when you study Embryology. This book does a great job in that sense and I highly recommend it.
