A collection of color photographs, ultrasound scans, and histology illustrations of normal embryonic and fetal development in utero. The descriptions accompanying the photographs describe the labeled structures, and serve as a link between the illustrations and as a memory aid for those familiar with embryology. All of the illustrations are from human specimens, many of which were prepared over 40 years ago when the surgical removal of undamaged fetuses and intact pregnant uteruses was less rare. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Life Before BirthAs a pregnant mother I found this book very disgusting and horrific. It shows babies that were disected at various stages of development. I would not reccommend this book for anyone who does not have a strong stomach.Med students only! !This book of "specimens" was very horrific as a mother. Pictures of cut open fetus abdomens, cut out cross sections of the uterus, fetuses cut in half to show spine and rib structure. Not for the average reader!!! NOT for the expectant mother!!! Try "a child is born" for pictures of babies ALIVE and growing in the womb, much better choice for the curious reader who wants to see growth stages and fetal development.Life before BirthVery graphic. An excellent book for the Med student. Used it for a biology presentation. |
