DESCRIPTION:
Combining meticulous science and superb colour illustrations, this is a life-long source of reference for veterinary students, practitioners, educators and researchers, focusing on anatomical relationships to clinical conditions and where appropriate, to microscopic anatomy, histology, embryology and physiology.
This bestselling textbook is now in its fourth edition. The strengths of the previous edition have been preserved and the book still contains a unique blend of text, colour photographs, imaging and diagrams, describing the gross systematic and topographical anatomy of domestic mammals. The revised edition has been fully updated and contains many new drawings in colour and replacement photographs.
Throughout the book the authors focus on anatomical relationships to clinical conditions and where appropriate, to microscopic anatomy, histology, embryology and physiology. Greatest emphasis is given to dog, cat and horse, with relevant information on ox/cow, pig, sheep, goat and rabbit.
