Reviews

Review of the previous edition: The strengths of this edition include the logical organization and sequence within each chapter and a content summary and overview at the beginning of each chapter. Key vocabulary terms are italicized in the text and accompanied by definitions and clarifications when necessary. Illustrations are clear with appropriately detailed identifications and labels. Photomicrographs and radiographic images are used to complement select illustrations and text on certain topics. Historical perspectives and commentary boxes containing brief and concise information about relevant clinical topics are interspersed throughout each chapter. Diagrams, tables, flow charts, and commentary boxes have gentle, visually appealing coloring. The book concludes with 2 appendices. One is a vocabulary review, and the other contains valuable re-view questions in multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank formats, along with the answers to those questions. - Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
