 Good Book September 12, 2009
B. Payton (Ohio)
This is a well written textbook and has good pictures with good captions. The book was also in excellent condition and I was very happy with the buy.
 terrible online content and assistance June 15, 2009

do yourself a favor and buy this book used. The online student consult is a joke! It took me forever to even access the website because the URL on the book is wrong, I only found it through google. Then I tried to register. That didn't work. I finally found a number for tech support. When I called, not only was tech support very rude, but they informed me that the website does not work with safari and they recommend using firefox or internet explorer (which, by the way, is not stated anywhere on the book). So I finally got it working but the content is really not worth it. Save your money and buy it used... or better yet, use a different book with better online content and better tech support.
 No less than what I would expect from a Moore book March 29, 2009

The book I confess was surprisingly small in comparison to his anatomy book, however its very easy reading and very complete, I gave him a star less because the stages before fertilization are to short, they lack of a deeper look.
Wonderful, fantastic embryonic infromation & pictures February 12, 2008

This book provides wonderful and fantastic embryologic information and pictures. It explains what happens before and after a sperm enters a mother womb, until becoming a fully developed human being with nice pictures and explanations.. good choice if interested in such a topic
