This book amazed me twice. 
I found this book extraordinarily helpful in my medical school.
This book amazed me again when I found that the author has another embryology text book with additions of miracles about embryology mentioned in the Islamic text 1400 years ago, visit http://islamicbookstore.com/b6147.html.

great book 
I absolutely agree with Michelle Lee (one of the reviewers above) that it is essential to SEE what is happening when you study Embryology. This book does a great job in that sense and I highly recommend it.

As a medical student
In bried to say that the book is not only well written and presented it also makes the subject very easy to understand.Used it for my anatomy and pathophysiology lectures. A very good book indead for someone who has just started studying the subject.

The best way to learn embryology...
This book had the BEST pictures. In fact, just this year our veterinary school switched the required text from Langman's Medical Embryology (a very human-centered book) to Before We Are Born. I think the best way to learn about how the embryo develops is to actually see things happening...a professor can say "then the dermatomes extend out from the somites..." but it really doesn't mean much unless you can SEE it. Before We Are Born really does this well, taking a step-by-step approach to learning the processes of developmental biology. The illustrations are clear, and they try to make them as 3-D looking as possible. If you're taking a developmental biology or embryology course, you NEED this book!

Too many terms! 
Keith Moore and Vid Persaud have tried to put together a simplified edition of their seminal book, The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology. Unfortunately, this embryology text misses the mark. There are too many terms and concepts for a non-medical student to learn. This book should be pruned down and be concentrated on a fewer number of concepts. Also, embryological concepts are extremely difficult to learn and a CD-ROM showing animations of the various aspects of the developing embryo would be much more useful. The authors have done extremely well with the illustrations and clinically related pictures. In conclusion, if you must use this text, put together a list of terms from the book and then try to learn the many concepts elucidated.
