Synopsis
The splendor and beauty of a child's growth and development in the womb--seen through unforgettable images made possible by revolutionary advances in visualization technology What's happening with the baby now? All expectant parents ask this question throughout the exhilirating months of pregnancy. Fuzzy sonograms and doctor's explanations can provide basic information, but through Alexander Tsiaras' remarkable achievements in medical imaging technology, parents can see , for the first time, the awe-inspiring process of a new life unfolding, in stunning, vivid detail. The milestones of pregnancy which before could only be described can now be witnessed: the heart's first beats; the appearance of color in the eye; the emergence of toes and teeth; the brain and nervous system directing development; the first movement of tiny legs and arms; the first indications of gender; the wondrous symbiosis of mother and child; the symphony of the body's systems coming into being and working in concert. The book tracks the development of a baby from the moment of conception, through the explosively complex early stages of development and the amazing stages of growth as the baby is nurtured by the mother, ending with the joy of birth. All this is made possible by revolutions in two sciences. As biologists have decoded the molecular basis of life, computer scientists have developed non-invasive, three-dimensional techniques for visualizing the body. Alexander Tsiaras has been a pioneer in merging these explorations and discoveries. He has created a virtual camera studio that enables him to view a human body or any part of it individually, scan it, enlarge it, rotate it, adjust its transparency so that we can view inside a living being, and light it from any angle. The result is an ability to illuminate the unseen elements that make us who we are, and the miraculous images in From Conception to Birth .

Great for moms to be!
This is a great book for anyone who is pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant. It is wonderful to see how the baby is changing week to week. I believe that it helps both moms and dads to connect with their unborn child. The pictures are truly amazing and the descriptions are appropriate and well thought out. This is a favorite of mine and the many that I have purchased it for.

From Conception to Birth
I love this book! Although I have just started following my son and daughter-in-law's pregnacy, it is very eary in the stages and the pictures help me become so connected. Although I love reading, the reading contained in this book is not over my head or deeper than I would understand. I would recommend for the expectant parents, grandparents, family or friends.

beautiful book of the infant developing in the womb.
What I love of this book is that it shows high technology of what an infant looks like and how it develops and the explaining is both revolutionary and somewhat entertaining. This is a MUST for parents-to-be or anyone hoping to have kids someday.
