Non-Medical Person Reads Book on Babies March 28, 2010
D. Quist (Santa Fe, NM USA)
As soon as my wife got pregnant, the deluge of books started coming in for her. I was shocked at the huggy-feel-good nurture your baby books. All of them have the tone of how to have a baby for dummies. I wanted some real science, unfiltered and without the emotional crap. In my research for a book that would tell me the details of human development I happened on this book.
I really liked this book.
As a layman it was a good place for me to go back and review all the biology that I learned many years ago. It was also good to know what all the measurements, blood tests, and various poking and prodding all meant. Having some of a science background it was a good overview of the whole process. Knowing the various complications at different parts of the pregnancy was also good to know.
If you're squeamish about looking at dead babies with a variety of birth defects you should probably not read this book.
 Good people January 9, 2010

Everything was done correctly and sent in a timely fashion. Also, the price was more than fair and I almost expected there to be a catch but there wasnt any. All around A+
 Wish I had bought Moore's Embryo Instead November 15, 2009
L. Acton
I'm currently using this book in my 1st year of medical school. I feel it is not well organized, user friendly or as in depth as is needed for medical education. Moore's illustrations and explanations are much more helpful. I wish I would have bought that intially. Please save yourself the headache and buy something, anything other than this book.
very good but on-line resources and other texts make it even better March 22, 2009
R. Jade (Oregon)
Very helpful, especially if you use the subscription for additional on-line resources (included free) which include really helpful video simulations. These help make more sense of the 2-Dimensional diagrams and photos. Another really good book is The Ontogenetic Basic of Human Anatomy; A Biodynamic Approach to Development from Conception to Birth by Erich Blechschmidt (North Atlantic Books; (c) 2004) which provides another highly helpful way of learning about the subject. I'm more interested in osteopathy and alternative modalities which is probably why Blechschmidt's book is interesting to me.
excellent quality September 15, 2008

The book was brand-new; the CD - the most important part - was present. I'm very satisfied.
