I absolutely loved this book for anatomy...and still use it for more advanced classes today! The drawings are very accurate and Pasquini does a wonderful job providing alternative views. I really appreciated the little poems, etc. that he provides as a way to memorize difficult things, such as arcade formulas. And, you may just need the cute little horse on the potty, cows reproducing and being pregnant to allow a small smile during that difficult first year of vet school.

Most Anatomy books will put you to sleep but this one is easier to read. The text is well spaced, summarised and there are many illustrations (in the form of sketches). As a Vet student, I find the book quite helpful and comprehensive, too bad there is no color or actual pictures. When studying bones for example, it helps to see the tuberosities, contours and general features from real photos.

Great book as far as the content is concerned. It is full of sketches and illustrations (sorry, no real photos), packed with detail. There is reference to the anatomical features of all domestic animals (even Llamas), but less info for the pig. There is also mentioning of the clinical importance for several anatomical features, as well as species variations. Very practical indead, clear and detailed illustrations. Humorous animal characters make the material "ligher". Recommended especially for vet students like myself. It is a good reference book.

I'm a vet student in the Philippines and even though we have anatomy books in the library, i really found it hard to study it. So I guess Pasquini has really simplified the subject, breaking it down into tables and diagrams and simple texts. it even has "clinical" boxes so you can appreciate what you're studying! if you're a first year stude, it'll help you become familiar with a lot of diseases, IM or IV sites,etc. My classmates find the pictures very cute (as w/ many others). I'm restudying it right now to prepare for surgery. it's just been a direct, miracle book. On the other hand, no colored pictures and the systemic approach can bog you down with locating some stuff. and sometimes, i get confused with the diagrams, but that's just me.

This book is an excellent soure to study anatomy, diagrams are very clear and there is not much writing however, what is written is useful and written well. probably best used in conjunction with another anatomy book in order to get the most out of it. I would highly recommend this book for any body studying anatomy.

This book is great. Very helpful. Pictures are well drawn and labeled. Highly recommended.

This a great book that gets right to the point instead of dancing around it like dyce. I highly recommend it to all of my fellow vet students. It will save you tons of time!

This book has been very helpful as a supplement to my required anatomy guide. It often provides clearer explanations for what I am looking at.

I had originally bought a different anatomy book that was the one suggested by my vet school. However, I found it too wordy, and not enough detailed pictures of the different structures. One of my friends had this book, and I bought it soon after having a look through hers.

This book was so helpful, with detailed drawings of many different angles of all the structures in the main domestic animals. It has lots of little tips and hints to help remember things which are brilliant, and also some clinical information which helps remind you why it is important to learn this stuff! It also makes sure to list the species differences to make sure you don't miss them on the drawings.

It has a very good overview of the nervous system as well, which has actually helped me understand more than any of the lectures we had!

It also has a very good section on radiography: how to look at radiographs, what you will see, what organs would be where, etc. The ultrasound section is also fairly good.

The section on nerve blocks in horses and cattle is also handy to have a look at too.

I would definitely recommend this book for anyone studying vet med, I have used it during every year of my studies, not just during the anatomy course.

In good shape and not too many marks. Sent in a good amount of time!
