Review for the Second Edition:
"[A] really beautiful and wonderfully informative book thatno embryologist, comparative anatomist, pediatric neurologist orneurosurgeon should be without. Putting aside the medical relevanceof this atlas, it also provides the most captivating version of oneof the most complex and fascinating embryological stories ofall." BRAIN
This atlas is an invaluable resource for neuroscientists,developmental biologists, comparative anatomists, neurologists,pathologists, radiologists, and neurosurgeons.
