Patten's Foundations of Embryology

by Bruce M. Carlson

One of the standard texts in the field of embryology, Foundations of Embryology is superior to others in its comprehensive but readable account of embryonic development with outstanding illustrations. The sixth edition continues to present the story of vertebrate embryonic development in a clear and sequential manner. This text, more than any other on the market, will provide the readers with an entree into the morphology of development in a way that allows them to relate molecules and morphology.
