Embryology for Basic Sciences This book is a good reference book for your embryology course during Basic Sciences. The most useful part for me have been the practise questions. LWW gives you on-line access to the questions so you do not have to carry the book around with you all of the time. This book may be a bit to indepth to use while reviewing for STEP 1 if you have a limted amount of time.
Book arrived in described condition in a timely manner The book is a thorough overview of the topic. It is well organized, and I prefer this text to others I have seen.
Not a good idea to get this book! This book falls into the category of way too much! Sometimes the BRS series is the best thing in the world, and sometimes it just bites. Unfortunally this book falls into the later. It is overwhelming to try and read through. It is ridden with detail after detail that makes it horribly difficult to read. It isn't even feasible to use this book along with class because it would take longer to read through this book then take the class that only last a couple weeks. Getting straight to the point, unless you want to spend insane amounts of time on embryology, don't bother with this book. Look to the high-yield series for a much better embryology source.
Embryo BRS This book is good. However, it's downfall is the lack of illustrative pictures to help the student understand the massive amount of development that occurs. More diagrams would've been nie, but the amount of information there is a plethora and enough for one to understand the development that occurs due the fetal period.
it is what it is It's fairly straight forward and to the point -what it formed when, what can go wrong and what does it mean for classes/boards. There is a bit more than that but a few colored pencils and a good once-through makes this a great quick reference book any time after that. I review the corresponding chapters as I am going through my systems courses to cut to the chase and get past some of the fluff of lectures. Could be better but worth the price.
