From reviews of the First Edition: 
"While working in the Carnegie Laboratories of Embryology in California, Ronan O'Rahilly and Fabiola Müller published several most interesting and excellent scientific papers, but the consummation of their teamwork is this book. . . . Although the book deals only with human development, it should also be useful for any person interested in comparative embryology. . . ." —Anatomia Histologia Embryologia "This clear and easily read textbook is perhaps the best introduction to systematic embryology that any student in the biological sciences could wish to read. . . . This book will be welcomed by generations of students of anatomy and biology." —Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine "Human Embryology &amp; Teratology . . . is an excellent addition to the library of those doing prenatal diagnosis . . . this is a wonderful text that will complement the other usual texts of embryology . . . "—The Fetus In the years since its first publication, O'Rahilly and Müller's Human Embryology and Teratology has been widely praised as an exceptional reference work on both normal and abnormal human prenatal development. This revised and expanded Second Edition offers more in-depth coverage of the central topics in human embryology and incorporates the latest data from ongoing embryological investigations. Authored by two of the world's foremost authorities on the human embryo, this new edition provides a comprehensive overview of general and systemic development, referring throughout to the internationally accepted Carnegie system of embryonic staging. Extensively illustrated, the book features nearly 300 figures, including detailed, color-enhanced line drawings that clarify the developmental processes of every major organ and system. Photographs, micrographs, and 3-D reconstructions depict vital aspects of morphology and histology; and some 45 illustrations provide actual case examples of specific congenital anomalies. Numerous tables organize such critical data as the initial appearances of main features in relation to embryonic length, age, and stage. Material that has been added or expanded in this Second Edition includes: <ul>
<li>Revised tables on aging based on recent ultrasonic studies of the living embryo</li> <li>Updated coverage on all levels of staging, incorporating new molecular genetic data</li> <li>More precise morphological descriptions of the first ten embryonic stages, emphasizing such concepts as morula, blastocyst, implantation, primitive streak, twinning, somites, neural folds, and organogenesis</li> <li>A new section on prenatal diagnosis</li> <li>Two additional appendixes presenting a regional outline of embryology and tables of measurements</li> <li>More than 90 completely new illustrations</li> </ul>
The preeminent compilation on human embryology and embryonic abnormalities, Human Embryology and Teratology, Second Edition belongs in the library of every physician, student, and research scientist concerned with human anatomical development. Its authoritative, concise, and thoroughly illustrated presentation also makes it an ideal reference for practitioners in all medical and surgical subspecialty fields.

As a wholly unique atlas and the only book specializing on the prenatal human brain during both the embryonic and fetal periods, this updated version of The Embryonic Human Brain: An Atlas of Developmental Stages provides the latest information on human development with more than one hundred new pages and sixty additional illustrations. Written by one of the world's foremost authorities in the field of human embryology, this monograph gives professionals up-to-date, detailed drawings and texts based on three-dimensional reconstructions of varied morphological processes of the brain. Clearly written and detailed, this Second Edition presents the most accurate photographs, drawings, and photomicrographs of the human brain, including lateral views and median reconstructions of the brain at each stage, with revised tables and ages conforming with the most current ultrasonic findings in the field. The Embryonic Human Brain: An Atlas of Developmental Stages, Second Edition contains essential information on the embryonic period proper (the first eight postovulatory weeks) by providing: * New figures on arteries, based on the well-known studies of Padget * Over 300 figures of the embryonic and fetal human brain * The latest information concerning the cerebellum in both the embryonic and fetal periods, with special attention paid to hippocampal formation * An expanded account of the fetal period, emphasizing continuity of development, with supplemental postnatal images * A timely, expanded bibliography, and new appendices relating to median features, tracts, and the rhombencephalon * The Embryonic Human Brain: An Atlas of Developmental Stages, Second Edition is an authoritative and indispensable resource for neuroscientists, developmental biologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons, and is an essential handbook on current knowledge of human development for psychiatric and psychological professionals worldwide.

Its authoritative, concise, and thoroughly illustrated presentation also makes it an ideal reference for practitioners in all medical and surgical subspecialties.

Human Embryology & Teratology, 3rd Edition

Explores both normal and abnormal development of the human embryo and fetus. Divided into two principal sections that cover general and systemic embryology and teratology. Individual chapters cover the various stages of fetal development, the relationship of age to different body measurements and the characteristics of development for specific metabolic and organ systems. Will serve as a complete atlas of human prenatal development. It is extensively illustrated with photographs, radiographs, micrographs and color-coded line drawings.

The Embryonic Human Brain An Atlas of Developmental Stages Ronan O’Rahilly/Fabiola Müller This unique atlas—the only book on the prenatal human brain and the only book on the developing brain of any species that is based on staged embryos—is authored by two of the world’s leading authorities in the field of human embryology. The study reflects two decades of intensive research primarily drawn from the world-renowned Carnegie Embryological Collection, the most important collection of its kind. The staging system for the human embryo, now accepted internationally, is used throughout. The highly accurate illustrations based on three-dimensional reconstructions and accompanying text emphasize the initial appearance of the various morphological processes of the brain. The Embryonic Human Brain: An Atlas of Developmental Stages fills the need for a detailed reference on the human brain and the nervous system in the embryonic period proper (the first eight postovulatory weeks), by providing:  Over 200 figures of the embryonic human brain Exceptional quality serial sections with the exact level of each section clearly indicated Accurate three-dimensional reconstructions The only accurate, up-to-date, and well illustrated account of the embryonic human brain  The Embryonic Human Brain: An Atlas of Developmental Stages is a groundbreaking work in the study of prenatal development. For medical professionals specializing in neuroscience, neurology, psychology, and psychiatry, it will serve as an authoritative compilation of current knowledge of human development, as well as an essential handbook on the basic aspects of neuroanatomical development and congenital abnormalities.
