5.0 out of 5 stars A Much Needed, Fascinating Book, September 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Clinical Anatomy & Physiology for Veterinary Technicians, 1e (Paperback)

For veterinary technicians and their professors, this book is a gift. It not only teaches the basics of anatomy and physiology but covers comparative domestic animal anatomy as well. No longer will the vet tech have to depend on human anatomy texts or buy expensive, huge volumes on each separate animal. The book is beautifully written and distills complex, large topics into simple manageable material. For veterinarians, the book is a great way to quickly review anatomy of all the species. For the nonprofessional reader, it would be a fascinating look at how animals are the same and yet different. The diagrams alone are worth the purchase.

This review is from: Clinical Anatomy & Physiology for Veterinary Technicians, 1e (Paperback)

This textbook is pretty good information for those who are studying anatomy and physiology for the first time. However, it lacks the development of information at times for the functions I and descriptions of bones. Also, if you are a graphic learner, this book falls behind in terms of pictures. I found that I really needed to absorb what was observed in the lab to connect it with the information in this book.
Overall, it's a good start to learning the basics of anatomy and physiology.
