 Wish I had bought Moore's Embryo Instead November 15, 2009
L. Acton
I'm currently using this book in my 1st year of medical school. I feel it is not well organized, user friendly or as in depth as is needed for medical education. Moore's illustrations and explanations are much more helpful. I wish I would have bought that intially. Please save yourself the headache and buy something, anything other than this book.
 very good but on-line resources and other texts make it even better March 22, 2009
R. Jade (Oregon)
Very helpful, especially if you use the subscription for additional on-line resources (included free) which include really helpful video simulations. These help make more sense of the 2-Dimensional diagrams and photos. Another really good book is The Ontogenetic Basic of Human Anatomy; A Biodynamic Approach to Development from Conception to Birth by Erich Blechschmidt (North Atlantic Books; (c) 2004) which provides another highly helpful way of learning about the subject. I'm more interested in osteopathy and alternative modalities which is probably why Blechschmidt's book is interesting to me.
 excellent quality September 15, 2008

The book was brand-new; the CD - the most important part - was present. I'm very satisfied.
 Embry-terrible! August 27, 2008

I can't but help wonder why this book has not been consistently rated poorly. While hoplessly underexpanding on topics, it simultaneously presents the material in a slip-shod disorganized manner. I strongly recommend that one consider a different book, stat!
Great for learning and reference! June 16, 2008
Sara White (Salt Lake City, UT USA)
I was given this book when I worked at a teratogen information service. As a pharmacist, we are given no formal embryology training. However, at the teratogen information service it was crucial to understand how teratogens exert their effects. However, some of the images are disturbing, so caution to the faint! I learned a lot from this book, and have purchased it for my reference. It also comes with a cd-rom which can further enhance learning.
