Color Atlas of Fetal and Neonatal Histology serves as a comprehensive atlas of the developmental histology of the major organs from 15 weeks gestation to the neonatal period. Each section includes text on basic embryologic processes that influence the development of each organ and highlight major histologic features that correspond with certain developmental periods. In addition, there are many color photomicrographs at key developmental stages to assist the reader in identifying appropriate histologic changes at each developmental stage. This book will be of great value to students of embryology, pathology residents and fellows, and attending pathologists who perform fetal autopsies.

Additional text
From the reviews:
“This atlas is devoted to normal fetal and neonatal histology of each individual organ. … The intended audience includes pathology trainees and attending pathologists … as well as scientists interested in microscopic anatomy of fetal tissue. I would add that general adult pathologists … will find this a valuable resource. … photographs is superb and much care was taken to highlight normal histological variation based on clinical gestational age. The book is incomparable -- there are very few references dedicated to this area of pathology.” (Daniel Lalich, Doody’s Review Service, August, 2012)
“Typical histology texts focus on adult tissues, with little treatment of fetal organs and only rare descriptions of developmental changes. … this is an excellent book. … it is enormously helpful to have all of this updated information so easily available in one volume … . This atlas should be a welcome addition to the shelf of anyone involved in perinatal pathology, whether a new resident or an experienced pediatric pathologist.” (W. Tony Parks, Pediatric and Developmental Pathology, Vol. 15 (5), 2012)
