Summary

• Authored by two of the world's foremost authorities on the human embryo, this new edition provides a comprehensive overview of general and systemic development, referring throughout to the internationally accepted Carnegie system of embryonic staging. Extensively illustrated, the book features nearly 300 figures, including detailed, color-enhanced line drawings that clarify the developmental processes of every major organ and system.
• Photographs, micrographs and 3-D reconstructions depict vital aspects of morphology and histology; and some 45 illustrations provide actual case examples of specific congenital anomalies. Numerous tables organize such critical data in the initial appearances of main features in relation to embryonic length, age, and stage.
