The present anatomical atlas concentrates on the early weeks of prenatal development of the human embryo. It comprises more than 800 scanning electron-microscopic pictures of specimens of exclusively human embryos. The three-dimensional appearing illustrations show the development of the external form of the face, neck, trunk and limbs. Besides, the brain and the viscera of the head, neck, thorax, abdomen and pelvis – all dissected into layers – are represented in their position and spatial form. The juxtaposition of pictures of temporally close developmental stages reveals the changes in the form of the organs. Photographs of the same organic system are usually shown at the same magnification and clearly demonstrate the growth process. Simple outline drawings provided with the principal nomenclature facilitate the orientation within the specimens. A brief introduction to each chapter explains the most significant developmental steps depicted. This atlas is of great interest not only to anatomists, embryologists, histologists and developmental biologists, but also to biologists, biochemists and geneticists. Moreover, it serves as a valuable reference book for clinicians such as gynecologists, obstetricians, pediatric surgeons and pediatric cardiologists.

The Skeleton: Biochemical, Genetic, & Molecular interactions in Development & Homeostasis.

Edward J. Massaro and John M. Rogers

ISBN-10: 1588292150

ISBN-13: 978-1588292155

Humana Press

The Skeleton will not guide the clinician in the management of skeletal disorders. Rather, Massaro and Rogers have assembled a series of review articles on selected topics in skeletal biology that will be most useful to researchers seeking an overview of particular topics or to cross-disciplinary practitioners with an interest in bone biology. The topics are selective rather than comprehensive and focus on chondrogenesis and skeletal development, the cellular aspects of bone formation and remodeling, and a narrow range of genetic disorders. The chapters are well referenced through 2002. Figures, for the most part, generally consist of diagrams of interactions rather than primary supportive data, which are useful for an introduction to a topic; however, stained whole skeletons and histologic samples are shown in black and white in some chapters, which limits their usefulness. The book opens with useful sections on chondrogenesis and skeletal development.

An up-to-date textbook on embryology for medical students with a relevance far beyond that. There is abundant illustration of the text and extensive clinical correlation. An extremely accessible book that has a lot more clinical correlation than its previous editions. It's a pleasure to use..
