Langman's Medical Embryology Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Langman's Medical Embryology covers embryology for medical, nursing, and health professions students with a strong clinical emphasis. The text is highly valued as a teaching and learning resource for its clinical correlation boxes, summaries, problems to solve, illustrations and clinical images, and clear, concise writing style—all of which make the subject matter accessible to students and relevant to instructors. Online material includes Simbryo—an animation program showing processes, organs, and systems developing in human embryos—as well as review questions and full text online. A separate Faculty Image Bank and PowerPoint presentations are also available.

I used the 2nd edition in med school and liked it then. This new edition continues the theme by giving enough detail without overpowering one with minutiae. The clinical correlations are very useful as well. The drawings are good and have helped me understand what is going on. I love the color in these drawings too, as textbooks in black- and- white now seem drab to me. I have also purchased other Embryology texts- Larsen's and Moore's- but Langman's continues to be the best. Highly recommended.
As the other reviewers have said this book is fantastic and very well put together. I picked it up just to broaden my knowledge (I'm not in school) and I am very very pleased.
This book is well written with lots of pictures demonstrating the key concepts. Human embryology is a very visual science so having a book like this is essential. Embryology is fascinating and a fundamental concept to understand the pathogenesis of many human diseases. I recommend this book.
The kindle edition of this book has numerous typos, which is disappointing. I usually prefer the Kindle edition of my textbooks, but I borrowed the paperback from my library, and this is one circumstance that the book is much better. The page setup on the kindle is not ideal, with many of the diagrams being several pages away from their description. Also, there is a very nice and helpful chart in the beginning of the paperback, that is not in a useable format in the kindle edition. I wish I could get a credit for the kindle book and use it to purchase the paperback.
This is a very informative book with great diagrams. Useful for premeds and med students alike. Easily understood and gives you overarching themes.
This is definitely the best embryology book I have found, but it still falls short as a solo resource. Embryology is a tough subject conceptually, and Langman does the best job of putting it into words. Definitely supplement any embryology readings with youtube videos or some form of video to help conceptualize.
A decent textbook. It jumps around a lot within the chapters so it is hard to understand chronological order at times and references developmental processes before they are discussed. Defining terms and abbreviations is definitely a struggle for this book and not all terms are listed in the glossary. Supplemental aids were necessary at times.
Essential for understanding some anatomical relations clearly; recommended reading by my medical school the summer before school started. Clinical Correlates boxes cover clinically relevant board material very well. Most chapters are clear, but the chapter on the cardiovascular system is confusing and seems to contain some errors, and there are some factual omissions as well (e.g., hematopoeisis). The new edition may improve upon these problems. Of great help in understanding development is Simbrio, an series of online animations that comes with the book.
