Book Reviews of Langman's Medical Embryology

Book Review: Medical Student Approved
Summary: 5 Stars

As a busy medical student, I am very protective of my time. Langman's Medical Embryology (LME) is indeed a long, and at times difficult read, but in my humble opinion it is well worth that time and effort, as it is the only way I found to understand the field to the extent I wanted to. Whether for a general anatomy class, or for specific organ systems (especially the cardiovascular block - VSD's, ASD's, etc.), embryology creeps up again and again. I've read some negative reviews on here about the length or complexity of LME, but the fact is embryology IS complex, many of the details ARE important, and worse yet, the material inherently *builds off of itself* - e.g. you cannot skip over the development of the pharyngeal arches, or cram and then forget the information, and then expect to understand the subsequent development of facial structures and pathologies/deformities. If you read through this entire book, you will understand at least as much as a medical student ought to know, and a bit more (but not too much more, IMHO).

Overall, the writing is clear, the diagrams and images are valuable, and the content is essential to medical students. I highly recommend Langman's Medical Embryology for pre-clinical medical students.

Summary of Langman's Medical Embryology

Long respected for its scientific authority, pedagogy, and clinical relevance to medical education, this comprehensive embryology text features outstanding illustrations and clear and concise writing. The brand-new Tenth Edition covers all aspects of embryology of interest to medical students and instructors and includes clinical correlates that provide information on birth defects and other clinical entities directly related to embryologic concepts. This extensively revised edition features new full-color photographs of clinical conditions and updated embryo images/photographs created using newer technologies. It also features new online USMLE-style review questions through Connection / The Point. A new introduction chapter on development includes molecular biology. This edition's larger page size improves readability. A bound-in CD-ROM, Simbryo, presents animations of embryologic system development.
