Konuri’s Human Embryology manifests two distinct featues that sets apart this book from all others on this subject. They constitute the story and its purpose.
While all other books on Embryology are hard to read, difficult to visualize and not easy to memorize; this book runs like a story, flows like a novel and could be swallowed like a choclate. The reason for this special feature lies in the approach of the author. While others books treat the subject in a broken fashion, this book emphasizes the continuity.
While all other books target the study of all Embryology to elaborate the congenital anomalies in detail, the purpose of this book is to interpret the details of gross anatomy with data derived from development, of the individual as well as of the species. This does not, in the least, belittle congenital anomalies but keeps in mind that the book is meant for first year medical students.
We urge the readers to enjoy and master Embryology.
