The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, 8th Edition by Keith L. Moore and T. V. N. Persaud

"packed with excellent and colourful pictures of explaining how the various structures develop and change with timeBasically this is a good choice for someone who likes embryology and wants to get a good mark, not just a pass." Medical Student, University of Nottingham, UK (review of previous edition)

BMA Book Awards 2008 - Highly Commended

"An up-to-date textbook on embryology for medical students with a relevance far beyond that. There is abundant illustration of the text and extensive clinical correlation. An extremely accessible book that has a lot more clinical correlation than its previous editions. It's a pleasure to use."

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This was a well-written textbook for medical students. The information was presented in a way that was easy to understand. Sometimes concepts and figures were repeatedly emphasized for certain structures, but I believe that's essential to learning embryology. Pros: -Easy to read. -Structures are frequently identified to allow you to spatially orient yourself. -End of chapter summaries. -Practice questions in text. -Online student consult animations and more practice material. -The book is available online using the student consult. Cons: -The layout of figures was slightly aggravating because I had to flip through multiple pages at times to view structures that I was reading about, thus it was occasionally time consuming to read. Overall, I really enjoyed this textbook.
