Before We Are Born review, November 12, 2008

This book is amazing. I needed it for an Embryo class and found it to be very easy to read and understand, full of useful and interesting knowledge. It even includes actual size pictures of the embryo and fetus. I highly recommend this book if you are taking any kind of anatomy class that teaches about early life stages. You will learn a lot and I plan to keep this book even for my Chiropractic practice after I graduate.

a good beginners book, August 17, 2008

Very good for first year medical students or others wanting to learn more about early development. Nice pictures and not especially difficult language/terminology.

Great book, August 7, 2008

I Like Dr Moore and his other book Clinically oriented anatomy Dr Moore books are clearly written and supported with figures. I am a neurologist in practice. And I like to mention the good thing about dr Moore , that: After he was told about Muslims Quran, and how it described embryology, he admitted that Quran can not be Made by a man, but it has to be revelation. he added to his second edition of this book the information he learned from Quran and the saying of Prophet Muhammad. This is really an honest scholar. Our knowledge need to be grounded by our connection to God. It's understandable how the west left the church "abuse" but they need not to leave God as we see in this example how true Revelation(Quran) and science dont contradict each other. You can check [...], on Quran miracles. I always wonder how can scientist refuse God.

Very nice if you hate Langman., December 13, 2007

UAMS listed Langman's Medical Embryology as our required embryo book. I hate Langman with a passion, as you can tell in my review of it. It is poorly written, contains less than useful 2-D figures making it difficult to visualize morphologic changes, and contains at least two errors in every single chapter (and I'm not talking about minutia; it's errors big enough that our lecturers have to mention them in class). So, I began searching for an alternate embryology book that covered the material in about the same depth as Langman. This is it. This book is concisely and CLEARLY written. It also contains more figures, and these figures have a 3-D feel to them that make embryology much more understandable. Also, it appears to have vastly fewer errors. If your medical school requires Langman, by all means get Langman. Many of my classmates find the book an enjoyable read, and this book isn't a Langman clone, so the information each book contains is slightly different. The author (Moore) is also the author of Clinically Oriented Anatomy (5th Edition), and he correlates embryologic structure to adult anatomy more than Langman, which I enjoy. But if you have Langman, hate it, and need a supplement, this delivers in spades.
