| By: Lauren J. Sweeney ISBN: 0070633088 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional Release Date: 01 December, 1997 Bioscience book rank: 662023 | If you are looking for a clearly presented explanation of the concepts of embryology this book is an excellent choice. While embryology is a complex subject, many of the standard texts and treatises unnecessarily obscure the topic by using verbose and obtuse prose. The author uses direct and relatively straightforward text that makes it much easier to learn about this fascinating subject. This book offers a very detailed explanation of embryology in an easy to read format. It breaks embryo out of the 1960s format that our medical school taught in, but it is too much information for the boards. Embryo is good for cardio and GI and this book would be a good reference but don't use it for boards. You would be better off with High Yield. This book is extremely helpful as a supplement to textbook readings. It definitely meets the objective of placing the primary concepts UP FRONT! Using this book, I was better able to focus my study, prepare for exams, and drastically improve my grade. I feel this book works best as a supplement, due to very recent advances in embryological study that are not included in this book. | |

| By: Bruce M. Carlson ISBN: 0072871709 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Companies Release Date: June, 2003 Bioscience book rank: 873519 | The text of Foundations of Embryology was at times rather advanced and technical but the pictures made the book really worth while! There are thousands of pictures (electron micrographs, light micrographs, and many others including numerous hand-made drawings from Patten himself). Although the majority of the photographs are in black and white, there is a section which contains colored versions of the most important pictures. This book is a must for undergraduate students of biology and professional students who must take courses in embryology. | |

Schoenwolf ISBN: 0131585606 Publisher: Benjamin Cummings Release Date: 31 May, 2007 Bioscience book rank: 817136 | This book is quite an disappointment for me! <br />The pictures are black-white with mediocre quality, <br />and unable to cover some important developmental stages. <br />Not worthy to buy it. | |

| By: Bruce Carlson ISBN: 0323014879 Publisher: C.V. Mosby Release Date: 20 February, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 934272 | I teach developmental biology and study invertbrate devlopment and evolution. For my course I use Scott Gilbert's excellent text and teach my course as a general introduction. I just became pregnant and purchased this book to exapand my knowledge on human development.
<br />
<br />I'm rather disppointed. It's not detailed enough and while the illustrations are nice, there are several diagrams that illustrate paracrine factor targets but are never mentioned in the text or explained. why diagram them then? Even more disturbing is a underlying teological bias that many intelligent designers would salivate over reading. For instance page 209 "a master blue print" is used to describe the interactions of several tissue types to form the limbs. It's disturbing to think that our MD's might be using this text for their human embryology courses- its a very basic pass frought with poor word choices that would satisfy any creationist. I use the book to my embryology class and I have to say that is the best book of embryology I find. The contents are very up-date, and handle much information of the molecular basis of the development and the genes that are expressed in every step of the human development. The book have a very good redaction and the gene information of the book is the best one. It's a very up-dated book. Carlson's "Human embriology and developmental biology" is a good book for biology and, most of all, medicine students, who want to understand the basical principles of development. It doesn't have a lot of developmental anatomy, but it explains clearly and simply the ultimate advances in experimental embriology. If you are for the first time studying developmental biology, you should read it. It also contains at the end of each chapter a lot references, which will help you if you want to learn more about any specific topic. | |
