Description
The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology (12th Edition) by T.V.N. Persaud and Mark G. Torchia, originally authored by Dr. Keith L. Moore, is the world’s leading reference on human embryology and developmental biology. This edition continues the legacy of combining scientific accuracy with clinical relevance, making it the perfect textbook for medical, dental, and nursing students.
The book offers an in-depth understanding of human development from fertilization to birth, integrating basic embryologic principles with clinical case studies, congenital anomalies, and imaging correlations. The 12th Edition has been fully updated with new illustrations, high-resolution ultrasound images, 3D reconstructions, and expanded coverage of molecular biology and genetics to reflect the latest advances in the field.
Each chapter begins with learning objectives and ends with a clinical summary, helping students connect embryologic concepts with real-world applications. Detailed visuals, clear explanations, and clinical notes make it an indispensable guide for mastering the complexities of human growth and congenital development.
