Written by some of the world's most famous anatomists, the 10th edition of The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology continues to present medical students with a comprehensive and easily digestible review of this complex topic. Clearly written and well-structured descriptions include just the information that’s needed, while nearly 600 illustrations help provide a clinically oriented guide to human development, utilizing a week-by-week and stage-by-stage approach to describe fetal organ and system development. 

    • Review questions and answers at the end of each chapter allow for effective exam preparation.
    • Covers the latest advances in embryology, including normal and abnormal embryogenesis, causes of birth defects, and the role of genes in human development.
    • Details how discoveries in molecular biology have affected clinical practice, including the development of sophisticated new techniques such as recumbent DNA technology and stem cell manipulation.
    • Clinical case presentations, highlighted in special boxes, demonstrate how embryology concepts relate to clinical practice and are ideal for preparing for the USMLE Step 1.
      • Three-dimensional animations — 2 new to this edition — help visual learners understand the subjects as discussed in the book as a whole.
      • New and thoroughly revised assessment questions by Mark Torchia.
      • Presents an authoritative description of human embryology through all stages of development.
      • Rich illustrations correspond to the text to enhance comprehension.
      • Medicine eBook is accessible on a variety of devices.

      This book is just amazing. It is easy to follow and the picture diagrams and illustrations are perfectly placed to keep the reader awake and engaged. My prof who I beleive is the best, recommended this book as the Gold Standard and I can see why when I compare it to the others.

      2.0 out of 5 stars Just not a well-written book…
      Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2019
      Verified Purchase
      Similar to my review of Langman, this book, which is one use by the national Board of chiropractic examiners, is just not well written and can't tell a good story. It's all over the place, just like Langman. If you bought both of these books, you would get a better story but still not a great story. Student still wouldn't understand embryology well at all, at no fault of their own.

      If I had to pick one, it would be Carlson which is by far the most comprehensive and tells a pretty good story. The problem with that one is that it uses different terminology sometimes, compared to Langman and Moore – the two national Board of chiropractic examiner books.

      Taken from an associate professor who is trying to build an advanced class on embryology, the only way to achieve this is to buy all five books (Larsen, Langman, Moore, Carlson, and Singh), read them, and then slowly put together your PowerPoint slides. You'll get a pretty good story this way. Somebody who is a good storyteller needs to write a good embryology book.
