4. "HUMAN EMBRYOLOGY" 



(prenatal development of form and function) 

 3rd edition, 1962

493 pp., 510 figs. Price: 75 s. 



The second edition of this well-known work appeared in 1952. The present 

 edition has been extended and extensively revised. Many chapters have been 

 completely rewritten. Thanks to the new human material that has recently 

 become available, the chapter on early development is now based almost 

 entirely on human data. Among the other chapters that have undergone con- 

 siderable modifications are that on the development of the placenta, that on 

 abnormal development, that on comparative embryology, and the section on 

 sex differentiation. Throughout the book, more emphasis has been placed on 

 genetical factors in development. 



The general plan of the book has remained unaltered. The illustrative 

 material, which always formed an outstanding feature of the book, has been 

 considerably augmented, and many of the old figures have been redrawn. 

 The selected references at the end of each chapter have been brought up-to- 

 date. 



5. "RADIOGRAPHIC ATLAS OF SKELETAL DEVELOPMENT

A standard of reference"

163 pp. Springfield, 111. 



Price: $ 9.50 



This atlas is the third of a series of standard atlases of human skeletal 

 development. The first two atlases concerned the hand and the knee, respect- 

 ively. The former was announced in the Supplement to the eighth issue of this 

 journal (I960, p. 30). 



The book deals only with postnatal development. It has been primarily 

 designed for the use of clinicians. 



The technical execution of the book is excellent.
