WONDERFUL

Un gran libro lleno de preciosas ilustraciones (de muy buen tamaño, a todo color y magnifica calidad), con una forma muy metodica y entretenida de narrar paso a paso el desarrollo de un bebe desde la fertilizacion hasta el nacimiento; me impacta la serie de fotos donde se plasma la formacion del rostro humano, asi como las microfotografias de las celulas y tejidos tambien a todo color; muy buenas imagenes ultrasonicas del feto en 3 dimensiones...en resumen, un libro que nos muestra el milagro de la gestacion en todo su esplendor.

Astonishing reality of life in the womb

This book amazingly captures the scientific fact of life from conception and presents the journey in an easy to read format with loads of incredible pictures of real life. This would be a great gift for the newly pregnant mothers. I purchased a second copy for just that purpose.

Great to view

It is great to view, it shows you all babies details starting from creation, and till birth, unbelievbale images and details. One per page, and description plus more details, you won't believe how much it is nice really. Highly recommended with its DVD.

Ulimate gift for expectant and new moms!

This is the book I dreamed of when I was pregnant! It doesn't tell you if you're going to get varicose veins or if its ok to take Tylenol, it tells you about your BABY. It has amazing, beautiful images of the baby at all stages based on the most cutting edge technologies and detailed but accessible information about fetal development. It makes a delightful gift for baby showers, because everyone wants to pass it around. After I gave a copy to my sister for her second pregnancy, she and my mother now make it a standard baby present. Its more exciting than *another* cute outfit or monitor!

The complete inside view of pregnancy

Even if you haven't seen the TV program that this book is (loosely) based on, you should check out this book. The images are incredible. They remind me of the famous photographs by Lennart Nilsson.... What I liked about this book is that it walked you through all the stages of pregnancy, narrating the science as it unfolds with the developing embryo or fetus. There's a lot of information here. Most books about pregnancy focus on the mother, but this really tracks what's going on inside. I've bought three additional books to give away as gifts to three friends who are pregnant. What could be a better gift than something that really helps you to understand the wondrous processes taking place within?
