The best academic embryology book I have read ever, since it contains the fatus developing weeks in details, and not just that, but it adds the diseases and birth defects which goes along these weeks. And I believe in my specialist opinions as they see "before we are born" as an advance book.

9th Ed. Is actually what I read and give 5*, but I couldn't find that version on goodreads!

Great textbook, easy to read and follow. Great illustrations and clinical correlates.

Embryology is a pain, especially the first 3 weeks. A bilayer plate? Really? I'm supposed to be able to fully describe a bilayer plate? Didn't I just fully describe it by naming it?

Sheesh.

Can't wait to get this book and read the rest of it. I spent some time with it at the library today and the pictures were extremely helpful to me.
