Product Description
Imagine being able to observe with astonishing clarity a child's delicate features as they evolve over the course of a pregnancy, or witness the complex behavior of new human life in utero. Now we can, thanks to the advent of innovative 3D and 4D imaging technologies that provide a powerful diagnostic tool for doctors and cast vivid light on our earliest development#8212;and a profound new way for parents to bond with their babies on a deeper emotional level. brbrCombining more than 140 images of life-like models based on the latest science, computer-generated illustrations, and 3D ultrasound images with an uplifting, informative text, iIn the Womb/i is a week-by-week chronicle of the mysterious, magical progress from embryo to fetus to full-term infant. brbrEach spread features a central image and information about that particular stage as well as brief commentary explaining what we know and how we know it. For example, at 24 weeks we watch a fetus open and close her eyes, display facial expressions resembling a grimace and a frown, and stick out her tongue (no one has yet established exactly why). And during the last trimester, we learn, she experiences REM sleep and can hear loud noises through the fluids of her mother's body#8212;a first hint of the world that awaits outside the womb. brbrBased on National Geographic's acclaimed television program, originally aired in 2005 and soon to be supplemented with two more 2-hour segments, iIn the Womb/i is the perfect gift for expectant parents and a fascinating perspective for anyone captivated by the miracle of life.

Astonishing reality of life in the womb June 9, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

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.

The pictures in this book are absolutely amazing, and we will display it on our coffee table for years to come. Our only dislike was to the references to evolution. This book is extremely powerful in showing how children grow from inception to birth.

Clay figures May 14, 2007
12 out of 14 found this review helpful

I was so excited to get this book after reviewing a similar one that a friend had, however, I was very disappointed in it. The pictures are clay models that an artist has molded. There are no real ultrasounds or images. With our wonderful technology today, I was hoping for the real thing not an artist's rendition of what a fetus and blood cells look like. Although the artist is talented, I was very disappointed that no where in the description of this book did it reveal that the images were clay models.

This is an excellent product that demonstrates the genius of our Creator and documents the fact that a baby is human life long before birth.
