Book Reviews of In the Womb: Witness the Journey from Conception to Birth through Astonishing 3D Images
Book Review: WONDERFUL
Summary: 5 Stars
Un gran libro lleno de preciosas ilustraciones (de muy buen tama?o, a todo color y magnifica calidad), con una forma muy metodica y entretenida de narrar paso a paso el desarrollo de un bebe desde la fertilizacion hasta el nacimiento; me impacta la serie de fotos donde se plasma la formacion del rostro humano, asi como las microfotografias de las celulas y tejidos tambien a todo color; muy buenas imagenes ultrasonicas del feto en 3 dimensiones...en resumen, un libro que nos muestra el milagro de la gestacion en todo su esplendor.

Summary of In the Womb: Witness the Journey from Conception to Birth through Astonishing 3D Images
Imagine being able to observe with astonishing clarity a child's delicate features as they evolve over the course of a pregnancy, or witness the complex behavior of new human life in utero. Now we can, thanks to the advent of innovative 3D and 4D imaging technologies that provide a powerful diagnostic tool for doctors and cast vivid light on our earliest development-and a profound new way for parents to bond with their babies on a deeper emotional level.Combining more than 140 images of life-like models based on the latest science, computer-generated illustrations, and 3D ultrasound images with an uplifting, informative text, In the Womb is a week-by-week chronicle of the mysterious, magical progress from embryo to fetus to full-term infant.
Each spread features a central image and information about that particular stage as well as brief commentary explaining what we know and how we know it. For example, at 24 weeks we watch a fetus open and close her eyes, display facial expressions resembling a grimace and a frown, and stick out her tongue (no one has yet established exactly why). And during the last trimester, we learn, she experiences REM sleep and can hear loud noises through the fluids of her mother's body-a first hint of the world that awaits outside the womb.
Based on National Geographic's acclaimed television program, originally aired in 2005 and soon to be supplemented with two more 2-hour segments, In the Womb is the perfect gift for expectant parents and a fascinating perspective for anyone captivated by the miracle of life.
