Product Description:
Long respected for its scientific authority, pedagogy, and clinical relevance to medical education, this comprehensive embryology text features outstanding illustrations and clear and concise writing. The brand-new Tenth Edition covers all aspects of embryology of interest to medical students and instructors and includes clinical correlates that provide information on birth defects and other clinical entities directly related to embryologic concepts. This extensively revised edition features new full-color photographs of clinical conditions and updated embryo images/photographs created using newer technologies. It also features new online USMLE-style review questions through Connection / The Point. A new introduction chapter on development includes molecular biology. This edition's larger page size improves readability. A bound-in CD-ROM, Simbryo, presents animations of embryologic system development.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - excellent quality
The book was brand-new; the CD - the most important part - was present. I'm very satisfied.
Rating:  - Embry-terrible!
I can't but help wonder why this book has not been consistently rated poorly. While hoplessly underexpanding on topics, it simultaneously presents the material in a slip-shod disorganized manner. I strongly recommend that one consider a different book, stat!
Rating: - Medical Student Approved
As a busy medical student, I am very protective of my time. Langman's Medical Embryology (LME) is indeed a long, and at times difficult read, but in my humble opinion it is well worth that time and effort, as it is the only way I found to understand the field to the extent I wanted to.

Rating: - Great for learning and reference!
I was given this book when I worked at a teratogen information service. As a pharmacist, we are given no formal embryology training. However, at the teratogen information service it was crucial to understand how teratogens exert their effects. However, some of the images are disturbing, so caution to the faint! I learned a lot from this book, and have purchased it for my reference. It also comes with a cd-rom which can further enhance learning.
Rating: - Excellent experience
The seller was very prompt in sending the book. I bought it and the next day she had already sent it, I received the book just in time to study for the test I was to take.
She also was very honest and correct about the books condition, it was in good shape with some highlighting which just saved me from having to do it!!!
