Basic Concepts in Embryology: A Student's Survival Guide

Excellent!

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.

I only needed this book for one specific section so can't comment on the whole, but for what I wanted it is an excellent source of basic information and diagrams.Reasonably priced (which helps)and does what it says on the tin - recommended for anyone who doesn't need to go deeply into the subject.

useful for my degree
