3.0 out of 5 stars Comparative review of 3 embryology textbooks, August 31, 2002

Kenneth Saladin (Milledgeville, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology (Paperback)

I have discussed this book in a comparative review of three human embryology texts:

Moore & Persaud, The Developing Human
Larsen, Essentials of Human Embryology
Sadler, Langman's Medical Embryology

This review can be found on the Amazon.com site under Sadler (ISBN 0-683-30650-2). In brief, I found Sadler to be the clearest and most useful of these three books, and Moore & Persaud to be the richest in clinical content but otherwise not as good as the other two.

3.0 out of 5 stars DENSE, November 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology (Paperback)

This is definitely a comprehensive book with lots of illustrations and clinical correlations. But it is very dense and difficult to get high yield information from...at least in the time your typical first year medical student has to master embryology.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of info but thick reading, October 27, 2000

Kathy Carrington "book fiend" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology (Paperback)

This book would be great for anyone going into pediatric or neo-natal medicine. Anyone else should look elsewhere for a more clearly written treatment of this subject. The book contains a lot of information and I found the drawings very useful. However, the authors use of unnecessary medical terminology makes for slow reading - and I have a BS in Biology! If you buy this book, be warned... you WILL need an anatomy book as well to understand what structures are being discussed. A medical terminology dictionary may come in handy as well. For information content, I give the book a 4 - I found several congenital conditions were missing or only briefly mentioned. For writing style, I give it a 2 for the reasons discussed above.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise, comprehensive, and clinical
Good book. Better than Langeman's (SP?), which is just a bunch of droning about pathways. This is more developmental biology on a macro level.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to all people, including non-medical students
I highly recommend this book to all starters at embryology. But don't forget to buy an extra atlas, since the diagrams in this book need lots of imagination to understand.
