This comprehensive atlas captures the prenatal formation of the human head with precision and detail, helping the reader discover the intricate world of craniofacial development. It serves as both a rich visual reference and a foundation for further research on how molecular signaling shapes the unique features of the craniofacial structure. Authored by a leading researcher with more than four decades in prenatal morphogenesis, this atlas goes beyond existing texts by offering an in-depth look at embryonic head formation through high-quality histology and advanced 3D reconstructions. More than 400 meticulously curated, vivid color images include detailed illustrations and 3D models that trace each crucial stage in the development of the human head's anatomical structures. An invaluable resource for scientists, medical professionals, educators, and anyone studying human development, the Atlas of Human Prenatal Craniofacial Development provides insights that lay the groundwork for understanding not only human morphology but also the roots of congenital anomalies.

Dr. Radlanski is Professor Emeritus of Craniofacial Developmental Biology at Charité Universitaetsmedizin Berlin. He has held guest professorships at the University of California at San Francisco, at the University of Turku in Finland, at the University of Basel and at the University of Zurich (Switzerland). In addition to numerous scientific publications, he is the author of the basic textbook "Oral Structure and Biology" and author (together with Karl Wesker) of the world bestseller "The Face: Pictorial Atlas of Clinical Anatomy," which has been translated into 16 languages worldwide.
