Embryology Textbooks.....
Can anyone recommend a good embryology textbook?
I currently have Langman's embryology from the library which is the recommended text for my course, but I don't find it very user friendly!
Anyone got any other suggestions I might try?
(They don't do an "embryology for dummies" - I've already checked!!! but if anyone feels like writing one.......)

Lol, I know just what you mean about langmans, its possiblly the most difficult to understand, bland, waste of money ever, in the whole wide world ever ever ever. For instance, I cannot understand atleast 50% 0f the words in that book even though my first language is english!

Are you kidding me, Langman's is well user-friendly! (well compared to my lecture slides it is). I'm in love with that book ...has amazing diagrams and really good summaries at the end of each chapter. It's easily the best Embryology book on the market. Langman’s = sex in a book.

Larsen's is the way ahead, brilliant pictures, clear text. Found it the only one that made me understand the subject! It's on Amazon...

Only books for children can be user friendly. You are already an adult person!

For a more concise overview 'Before We are Born: Essentials of Embryology and Birth Defects', Moore and Persaud, is really good. Also if you like learning from diagrams the anatomy and physiology colouring books have some really good ones, the text in theses textbooks is also quite well laid out. Hope this helps!
