The fully updated new edition of this acclaimed reference details the concepts and principles that underlie human development. Each stage is clearly described in a logical, step-by-step fashion, helping readers grasp the complex processes involved. This title enjoys a broad appeal, as it has a solid clinical component but is also very strong in the molecular biological aspects of the subject, including separate sections in each chapter on both clinical reference and experimental studies. Superb photographs, electron micrographs, and colourful three-dimensional illustrations demonstrate the origin of structures and tissues. Dr Larson also continues to maintain a supporting web site, which has proved very popular amongst both tutors and students and combines to provide readers with a state-of-the-art knowledge of the field.
