Book Description
The Eighth Edition of Developmental Biology expands its coverage of the mechanisms of development, the roles that environmental factors play in development, the medical applications of our knowledge of development, and the roles that development plays in evolution, highlighting all the incredible advances that have been made in the last three years. Written primarily for undergraduate biology majors, it also serves to introduce graduate students and medical students to developmental biology.
A completely updated text integrates classical developmental biology with contemporary techniques, including new material on: stem cells niches; microRNAs; sperm-egg attraction and binding; induction and maintenance of pluripotency; pioneer transcription factors and the recruitment of nucleosome remodeling proteins; left-right gene expression asymmetry; heart chamber specification; neural crest cell specification and differentiation; somite formation; human brain growth genes; the syndetome; new sources of muscle precursor cells; newly discovered mechanisms of teratogenesis; the effects of endocrine disruptors on human development; sex determination pathways in the brain; the effects of maternal nutrition on gene expression and disease susceptibility in the adult offspring; controversies over digit specification in birds and dinosaurs and whether mammalian blastomere fate is biased at the first division; and much more. Included with every copy of the book is Vade Mecum2: An Interactive Guide to Developmental Biology. In addition to a wealth of interactive content, this updated version includes a new Teachers' and Student's Resource with PowerPoint® slides of chick whole mounts and serial sections. A searchable PDF file on the CD contains full citations for the book's literature cited, with links to PubMed. The CD also includes Mary Tyler's laboratory manual, Developmental Biology: A Guide for Experimental Study, Third Edition, in electronic (PDF) format. textbook and provides more information for advanced students, historical, philosophical, and ethical perspectives on issues in developmental biology, movies, interviews, Web links, and updates. The website includes the full bibliography of literature cited in the book (over 5,000 references), most of which are linked to their PubMed citations.

It is impossible........2007-09-28
I had this mail to review a book that I would love to read. However I still did not receive it. And nobody is able to explain what happened to my book that bought the book in August. It will be my last purchaise at amazon.
Comprehensive, interesting and well illustrated.......2007-05-06
With a clear prose and a CD with links to all source material, this book is a great source for any biologist interested in the development of organisms, and how it was all figured out.
Needs streamlining.......2007-03-09
This book is a decent developmental textbook, but it focuses too little on explanation and too much on storytelling. While this style is appropriate in group talks, it wastes time when someone is trying to learn quickly and makes it difficult to find the useful pieces of information. The only way I have been able to use this book is with a highlighter at all times.
The text could also benefit from a reorganization. It seems that in order to get a good picture of the pathways that are recurring themes in development, one has to read the book out of order, and that can be confusing.
Other than that, it is factually accurate for the most part and has a sturdy binding, so it will last. The paper it's printed on isn't too great and ink/highlighter can show through, but not too badly.
Overall this is a good introduction to developmental biology, but it is not very useful as a quick reference or for someone trying to learn a specific organism quickly.
great.......2007-01-26
This book is easy to follow with great details about techniques and special topics in embryology. The CD is of great use for class and lab.
miss.......2006-07-24
This book offers a nice historical look at biology, but very little (if anything) about embryology is covered. The same can be said for the important development of anatomy. Sometimes it's best to read other reviews to find out if purchasing a book is the right decision or not. In this case, listen to the negative reviews. They're correct.
Book Description
Long respected for its scientific authority, pedagogy, and clinical relevance to medical education, this comprehensive embryology text features outstanding illustrations and clear and concise writing. The brand-new Tenth Edition covers all aspects of embryology of interest to medical students and instructors and includes clinical correlates that provide information on birth defects and other clinical entities directly related to embryologic concepts. This extensively revised edition features new full-color photographs of clinical conditions and updated embryo images/photographs created using newer technologies. It also features new online USMLE-style review questions through Connection / The Point. A new introduction chapter on development includes molecular biology. This edition's larger page size improves readability. A bound-in CD-ROM, Simbryo, presents animations of embryologic system development.
Customer Reviews:
Almost there after only 10 editions!.......2007-09-24
EDIT: After thinking about it for a few days, I should have given this book 3 stars, but now I can't seem to change it.
So this is my book for my medical embryology course that I am taking right now, and I am extremely happy that I had an undergrad developmental biology course! It would be a pretty good book (4-5 stars) if it didn't contradict itself with little typos throughout. For example, in chapter 3, the secondary follicle is (wrongly) called a preantral follicle in a figure caption. In the text, the primary follicle is called a preantral follicle (which is correct). If you didn't know already, this book would just confuse you. In chapter 5, figure 5-4 will confuse you because figure 5-4b and 5-4c are reversed, both in the figure and in the caption. The effect of this error is a major one, leading you to believe that notochord development happens in a caudal to cranial direction when in fact it occurs in a cranial to caudal direction. In the text, it is stated correctly. Once again, if you don't know any better, you are just going to get confused by this book. Also, the editors must have been overly concerned with keeping the book small because the glossary of key terms doesn't even have definitions for primordial, primary, and secondary follicles. That is horrible for an embryology book!
Aside from the obvious lack of effort in editing, this book has several good things about it. Despite being a tiny book, there is a lot of information packed into very dense writing. Some parts do not flow very linearly, which can be confusing. Other areas of embryogenesis are written poorly (e.g. progression of the villi from primary to tertiary, changes in fetal/maternal blood circulation), but you can still manage to get the idea if you spend a little extra time on it. After slowly reading through, and barring any crazy typos, you will have a pretty clear and thorough picture of medical embryology. Also, The emphasis on clinical correlations is very nice and well written. There are many good figures for the clinical correlations (it is the other figures that are iffy, as described above). The CD that comes with the book is very nice too. It is cartoonish, but it animates VERY clearly what is going on during different embryonic periods of development.
All in all, this book is worth getting. Just remember to be cautious of errors, especially in the figures. Maybe by the 11th edition all the kinks will finally get worked out.
Langman's embriology.......2007-07-29
Great detail and clearly explained. Can be a little dense if no previous embryology knowledge. Clearly explained clinical correlations and pathologies. Detailed diagrams and pictures, and the interactive cd that comes with it is great for giving an overall view of the process. An excellent buy
Excellent Book.......2007-07-27
Excellent Book, It's easy to read, and has the information you need, you'll learn a lot in a very easy way.

Book Description
Not since the early 1970s has there been an attempt to describe and illustrate the anatomy of the developing mouse embryo. More than ever such material is needed by biologists as they begin to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying development and differentiation. After more than ten years of painstaking work, Matt Kaufman has completed
The Atlas of Mouse Development--the definitive account of mouse embryology and development.
For all those researching or studying mammalian development, The Atlas of Mouse Development will be the standard reference work for many years to come.
Key Features
* Provides a comprehensive sequential account of the development of the mouse from pre-implantation to term
* Contains clear and concise descriptions of the anatomical features relevant to each stage of development
* Large format for easy use
* Contains explanatory notes and legends, and more than 180 meticulously labeled plates, 1,300 photographs of individual histological sections, and 200 electron micrographs, illustrating:
* Intermittent serial histological sections through embryos throughout embryogenesis and organogenesis
* Differentiation of specific organs and organ systems, including the spinal cord, eyes, gonads, kidneys, lungs and skeletal system
* External appearance of intact embryos throughout development
Book Description
Award-winning artist Sylvia Long has teamed with up-and-coming author Dianna Aston to create this gorgeous and informative introduction to eggs. From tiny hummingbird eggs to giant ostrich eggs, oval ladybug eggs to tubular dogfish eggs, gooey frog eggs to fossilized dinosaur eggs, it magnificently captures the incredible variety of eggs and celebrates their beauty and wonder.
The evocative text is sure to inspire lively questions and observations. Yet while poetic in voice and elegant in design, the book introduces children to more than 60 types of eggs and an interesting array of egg facts. Even the endpapers brim with information. A tender and fascinating guide that is equally at home being read to a child on a parent's lap as in a classroom reading circle.
Customer Reviews:
MARVELOUS!.......2007-07-26
This is a beautiful book. A little much for my 7-month-old; I would say minimum age is three. I bought this and the second book, A Seed is Sleepy. I would highly recommend both for their beautiful illustrations and verse.
Eggsactly Right.......2007-03-30
This lushly illustrated book leaves you wanting more bird information!
The beautiful eggs are just the start for children to start thinking "Whose egg is this?". Thankfully you are rewarded at the end of the book with the answer. This book is not only for kids, adults could learn much from the simple prose.
Clever!.......2007-03-19
I bought this book when it won the Cybil award for the nonfiction picture book category. I am so impressed with the clever way that Dianna Hutts Aston teaches readers about eggs. The book reads like a fiction story but manages to be educational as well. The illustrations by Sylvia Long seem a perfect match with the text. I can't wait to see the sequel to this one!
The Egg and I.......2007-02-21
As of today, this is the best kids' book I've read in 2007. Although the extraordinary (egg-straordinary?) egg illustrations are the main attraction, the text is noteworthy as well. One can picture a kindergarten teacher softly reading the first few lines--the kids settling down, all big-eyed, looking at the large black spotted egg the accompanies the haiku-like opening:
"An egg is quiet
It sits there, under its mother's feathers...
On top of its father's feet
...Warm. Cozy."
"An Egg is Quiet" displays and describes eggs with unusual colors and shapes, often in two, even three "layers" of text. For example, heading one of the two-page spreads is the title," An egg is shapely." Beneath that are four "subtitles" describing egg shapes: Round, oval, pointy, and tubular." Finally, and in a smaller font, the author describes each of the four egg shape exemplars, usually with some revealing fact. The blue and brown eggs of the common mure, for example, are "pointy at the end, so if they're laid on rock ledges, they roll around in safe little circles, not off the cliff." The format of the text enables you to--quite literally--choose your reading level!
Other spreads in this amply sized books show eggciting (sorry) variations in color, size, and design; there's also a look at embryonic development of three kinds of animals. This maturation theme is revisited in the last few pages: When the animal is born, the egg changes from quiet to "noisy!" We also see a variety of adult animals, echoing the egg collection that opens the book. (It would have been better, however, to draw these adults in the same relative location as their corresponding eggs.)
All this, and I haven't even mentioned the glorious ink and watercolor illustrations. They are simply spectacular; the egg never looked so appetizing. Sylvia Long's luscious egg drawings evoke shiny agates, marbles, unusual crayon colors, snowcones, mixed pools of watercolor, stones under water, and jelly beans. Some are mottled (e.g., the Big Herring Gull egg), while others have one bright color (the Great Blue Heron). The shapes vary much more than one might imagine, from the very round (Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle) to tubular with strange string coming out of them (the egg of the Dogfish Shark, with built-in tendrils that attach the egg to seaweed.
This is a real keeper--a work that will stay bookcased long after childhood. It's sure to elicit lots of oooo's and ahhhhh's! Kids may find themselves drawn to one particular egg, and they can talk about their favorites with others. At school, the book will complement science, art, math, and social curricula. Illustrator Sylvia Long (www.sylvia-long.com), and writer Dianna Aston have produced a book suitable for babies, toddlers, grade schoolers, and even "tweens." Theirs is an inspired achievement.

skimable.......2007-05-24
i skimmed through this book for my step 1 because some of its contents not necessary or were found in other books such as high yiel histo or anatomy and first aid.good to skim through for the boards, but if u dont have time first aid is a perfect alternate.Even if you decide to use this book, dont use it alone, use it with first aid, which was what i did. i ended up making a 229/95 in my step 1.
Excellent Review for a low yield subject on the Boards.......2007-03-31
This is much more concise than the new version. This little book helps you put the H.Y. facts of embryo together not just as a subject on its own but in conjunction to pathology. I would specially recommend the first 3 chapters to get a quick idea of embryo genesis and the cardio, respiratory, GI sections for quick kill on the congenital abnormalities that are extensively talked about in Pathology. I particularly recommend to read the latter chapters alongside with Goljan's Rapid Review Pathology.
this is like a mini review book for all subjects........2007-01-26
This book has information from different subjects, such as pathology, genetics, anatomy, physiology etc. I like the fact that it has lots of clinical correlations which link from different areas. some contents are repeated under different subjects in different chapters, I personally think that it enhances memory, some may find it to be redundant.
This book does have a little extra information which may not be required for step 1 exam. However, I think that it may be good for review or for the course study.
This book has a little too much information about genetics from chapter 21 to 24. For example, for spinocerebellar ataxia, it listed six types, SCA 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 and 17. Each has a separate paragraph with detailed gene abnormality. After all, this is an embryology book, not a genetic book.
its OKK.......2006-07-04
i read this book for usmle prep...it was pretty good...but had way too much information for usmle 1....i would reccomend using FA's embryo section as a guide...and read only sections in high yield that are represented in first aid(FA)...over all decent book...but overkill for usmle 1...
Great summary!.......2005-10-13
This book nicely complemented my Gross Anatomy and Embryology class and reiterated/clarified concepts that were conveyed in lecture. It also portrays great pictures of actual clinical cases. I would highly recommend this book to anyone!

Book Description
The on-going core of this atlas is its standard of realistic illustrations that portray anatomical relationships. Photographs of actual cadaver dissections along with numerous schematic drawings aid the student in anatomic orientation. Chapters are organized by region, in order of a typical dissection. Each chapter contains two sections: a description and illustration of organs, and a depiction of those organs within the regional anatomy. New to this edition is an increase of MRI pictures, approximately 30 schematic drawings made even more precise, and an updated text where appropriate. A Brandon-Hill recommended title.

A must for anatomy.......2007-10-03
I consider this book to be a must for any anatomy student. The pictures are exactly what you will see when you enter the lab.
love this book.......2007-03-28
In case it isn't clear from the description or title, this is an anatomy atlas made up of photos of actual human bodies. I don't know why we didn't have this in A&P. Fascinating, and a nicely produced book as well.
GREAT BOOK, EVEN GREATER IF YOU OWN ONE!!!!!!!!!.......2006-03-26
AM A SECOND YEAR STUDENT OF ANATOMY, AND AM GOING INTO THE RADIOGRAPHER TECH PROGRAM AT MY SHCOOL I JUST BOUGHT THIS BOOK AFTER SEEING IT, AFTER SOMEONE BOUGHT IT. SO I ORDERED MY OWN COPY, AND AM TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY BY THE PERCISION OF THE BOOKS DETAIL ON EVERY SINGLE PHOTOGRAPH. I THINK THIS WILL BE A DEFINATE KEEPER, AND IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE PRICE WITH A SIGH, DON'T JUST GET IT AND ENJOY!~
Also recommended: ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE COLOR ATLAS OF HUMAN ANATOMY by Wolf-Heidegger!!!!!!!!
Two sided ..........2006-03-25
My opinion about this book is a bit two sided and that's why:
I bought this one for my first year medical anatomy course and was a little mystified by it, at least at the beginning. I couldn't really understand what is going on in the corpse and as I looked into this book the sight was "cleaner" but similar. Naturally I put it away for a while and used Netter which was excellent.
A while after I became familiar with gross anatomical structures I opened it again, and only then I undestood what is going on inside, and only then I understood how great this book is!
Especially nice and logical where the drawings and explanations included.
Thus, my conclusion is that this book can be a great find for a student who has already taken the course, for a review or other purpose, but for a true beginner in this field it is almost the same as looking at the body.
In my opinion, to make an Atlas understandable for the beginner, it must NOT be real but must present the human body as seen through the eyes of the student. This job is perfectly done by Netter.
A great anatomy text.......2005-09-29
I agree completely with the review by Gerald J. Nora. The book is first rate and does a fantastic job of showing the "real" anatomy as opposed to drawings where the artist takes some liberties. The text begins simple and builds upon it. The only down side is that the labels are not ordered in a top down fashion. For example, the labels may be: 3, 2, 4, 8, 7, 6, 5 which can be confusing. Overall the book is highly recommended as a reference to a traditional anatomy text.
Book Description
Imagine being able to observe with astonishing clarity a child's delicate features as they evolve over the course of a pregnancy, or witness the complex behavior of new human life in utero. Now we can, thanks to the advent of innovative 3D and 4D imaging technologies that provide a powerful diagnostic tool for doctors and cast vivid light on our earliest development—and a profound new way for parents to bond with their babies on a deeper emotional level.
Combining more than 140 images of life-like models based on the latest science, computer-generated illustrations, and 3D ultrasound images with an uplifting, informative text, In the Womb is a week-by-week chronicle of the mysterious, magical progress from embryo to fetus to full-term infant.
Each spread features a central image and information about that particular stage as well as brief commentary explaining what we know and how we know it. For example, at 24 weeks we watch a fetus open and close her eyes, display facial expressions resembling a grimace and a frown, and stick out her tongue (no one has yet established exactly why). And during the last trimester, we learn, she experiences REM sleep and can hear loud noises through the fluids of her mother's body—a first hint of the world that awaits outside the womb.
Based on National Geographic's acclaimed television program, originally aired in 2005 and soon to be supplemented with two more 2-hour segments, In the Womb is the perfect gift for expectant parents and a fascinating perspective for anyone captivated by the miracle of life.

Astonishing reality of life in the womb.......2007-06-10
This book amazingly captures the scientific fact of life from conception and presents the journey in an easy to read format with loads of incredible pictures of real life. This would be a great gift for the newly pregnant mothers. I purchased a second copy for just that purpose.
From an Expecting Family.......2007-06-08
The pictures in this book are absolutely amazing, and we will display it on our coffee table for years to come. Our only dislike was to the references to evolution. This book is extremely powerful in showing how children grow from inception to birth.
Clay figures.......2007-05-14
I was so excited to get this book after reviewing a similar one that a friend had, however, I was very disappointed in it. The pictures are clay models that an artist has molded. There are no real ultrasounds or images. With our wonderful technology today, I was hoping for the real thing not an artist's rendition of what a fetus and blood cells look like. Although the artist is talented, I was very disappointed that no where in the description of this book did it reveal that the images were clay models.
Great to view .......2007-05-08
It is great to view, it shows you all babies details starting from creation, and till birth, unbelievbale images and details. One per page, and description plus more details, you won't believe how much it is nice really.
Highly recommended with its DVD.
FASCINATING.......2007-03-09
This is an excellent product that demonstrates the genius of our Creator and documents the fact that a baby is human life long before birth.

Product Description
The second edition of Cleft Lip and Palate: Perspectives In Management is an unparalleled review of treatment concepts in all areas of cleft involvement presented by an international team of experienced clinicians. This text can never be duplicated since it largely consists of longitudinal facial and palatal growth studies of dental casts, photographs, panorexes and cephalographs from birth to adolescence. Throughout all growth and treatment concepts, the need for differential diagnosis in treatment planning has been underscored. The underlying argument is that all of the treatment goals -- good speech, facial aesthetics and dental occlusion -- may be realized without the need to sacrifice one for the other. Every chapter author's concepts arose from extensive experience subjected to testing. Emphasis is placed on the essential character of multicenter clinical studies for improving understanding of the natural history of the cleft defect and the face in which it is found.

An excellent manual for teaching decriptive embryology.......2001-05-02
I witnessed the birth of the first edition of this book when I was still a college student, and have seen its transformation to suit the needs of each new era. The book offers fundamental principles in descriptive embryology. I hoped to see more on the expperimental aspect of the subject. I also wished to see the embryology of more of the animal phyla (eg. fruit fly, zebra fish) included.
An Embryology Lab Instructor's Comments.......2000-04-28
I have used this book in my course for four years. Typically one-hundred students per year are enrolled in my course. The quality of the photomicrographs is excellent. My only criticisms of the micrographs are that 1.) The sequence of the photomicrographs would be enhanced if they were arranged in a developmental sequence. Presently, the student must flip pages constantly to view all slides relevant to a particular developmental stage. 2.) There are not enough sagittal sections of the chick embryos. 3.) 96 hour chick embryos, instead of pig embryos might be an improvement. The text is good, although not quite as thorough as the Matthews lab manual was.
Book Description
The completely revised and updated New Edition of this definitive textnow in full color! Long known as the source to consult for guidance on diagnosis, prognosis, plan management, and genetic counseling, this easy-to-use reference focuses on the patterns of human defects caused by inborn errors in morphogenesis as opposed to defects caused by mechanical problems. It provides a wealth of information on normal and abnormal morphogenesis * minor anomalies and their relevance * clinical approaches to specific diagnoses * and normal standards of measurement for the entire spectrum of disorders. Each chapter includes a description of the specific abnormalityincluding occasional associated abnormalitiesnatural history, etiology, and references. On opposing pages are several descriptive photographs and line drawings of either an individual with the abnormality or specific features of the abnormality.

Good resource material for clinical genetics.......2007-08-25
Nice guidebook to have to help you study cases of human malformation. Each syndrome comes with text information and corresponding pictures. The pictures help you relate a particular syndrome with actual patients. It also has an index which shows some of the more common dysmorphic features that you may see and lists the syndromes that usually present with these features. The only drawback is that the information about some syndromes are sometimes lacking, so you will need another reference to expound on these cases.

Smith's Recognizable Patterns Of Human Malformation has always been one of the best textbooks for those health professionals who study and work on diagnosis or research in dismorphology, mainly pediatricians, pathologists and geneticists. Its 6th edition is 100% improved regarding illustrations, with nice color pictures as well as updated references and new concepts. Indispensable.
This is a must have reference for pediatricians.......2007-07-23
This is a totally new book. I purchased the fourth edition about 15 years ago. A long way has elapsed for medicine, pediatrics and genetics. This new edition incorporated all the new advances in the field of molecular genetics. Although the genetic syndromes are explained in the classic form, with Abnormalities, Natural History and Etiology, the recent advances in genomic medicine are fully explained for each genetic syndrome or disease. Also the pictures are now in color, they have always been great pictures but now with the color they bring much more to clarity and teaching. I like very much this book, not only because the depth and comprehensive review but because it is indeed a perfect picture of what has changed in the last years, and indeed, it is a new world, particularly in the field of genetics.
