Textbook of Veterinary Anatomy

Rating:
Summary: Excellent text for learning and reviewing anatomy
Review: The Textbook of Veterinary Anatomy is a must-have for any veterinary student or veterinarian. It is impossible to get through first-year anatomy without it, and it lends itself well to review of anatomical structures. No surgeon should be without it.

Summary: Better than most
Review: This book can be very helpful. It offers quite a few radiographs which point out many common structures. It's really hard to read straight through, but as a reference it's unbeatable.

Rating:
Summary: A great book for those who need text with their pictures
Review: This book is extremely helpful in physiology and neuroanatomy

Summary: Best Multi-Species Text Available
Review: This is the third edition of an outstanding textbook written by three veterinary anatomists of exceptional talent and many years of experience. This is one of the few veterinary anatomy textbooks available that addresses multiple species of veterinary interest; it includes sections on canine, equine, ruminant, porcine and avian anatomy. The first half of the text takes a systems approach, covering the comparative anatomy of different organ systems. The second half of the book takes a regional approach to anatomy, with different species treated separately and in detail. The authors also make frequent reference to the clinical significance of anatomical facts.
Figures are abundant and excellent, and this latest edition has added more color plates. Few extant textbooks of veterinary anatomy rival this one for the quality and comprehensiveness of illustrations.
The Textbook of Veterinary Anatomy can remain a significant reference text to the veterinary student (especially those with multi-species interests) throughout his or her curriculum, as it is a remarkably comprehensive book for its compact size.

Review: This text was a required book in my first year vet anatomy course. I must say, the pictures and diagrams are only adequate. Meanwhile, the actual text itself was laborious to read and so full of jargon and unnecessary detail that it literally gave me a splitting headache each time I attempted to read it. Please, please, if this is not a required textbook, don't buy it! There are much better anatomy texts out there!
