Book Description

0683306731 978-0683306736 September 15, 1999 1
Extraordinary accuracy and beautiful original artwork are just two features readers will find in this new resource, providing a basic foundation in domestic large animal anatomy. Its unique organization includes the anatomy of all organ systems in the various species, described in a consistent manner.

The book presents relevant anatomy of the following species:

* Horse (with contributors by Dr. Gayle Trotter)

* Ox (with contributions by Dr. Fran Garry)

* Sheep and goat (with contributions by Dr. Joan Bowen)

* Llama and alpaca (with contributions by Dr. LaRue Johnson)

* Swine (with contributions by Dr. LaRue Johnson)

* and chicken (with contributions by Dr. John Avens).

Features that enhance understanding:

* Carefully selected labeling helps students learn and remember structures and relationships.

* Male and female of a given species are depicted on facing pages so that topographic anatomy is easy to compare.

* Structures common to various animals are labeled several times, whereas unique structrur5es are labeled only on one or two species so students can make rapid distinctions of the structures peculiar to certain animals.

* An introduction provides readers with a background in nomenclature and anatomic orientation so they can benefit from the atlas even if they lack training in anatomy.

The Atlas depicts topographic relationships of major organs in a simple, yet technically accurate presentation that's free of extraneous detail so that those using the atlas can concentrate on the essential aspects of anatomy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Spurgeon's Color Atlas of Large Animal Anatomy, June 10, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Spurgeon's Color Atlas of Large Animal Anatomy: The Essentials (Paperback)
I am a fourth year vet student and have found this book to be a great clinical reference book. It is an especially useful tool for rectal palpation - an essential skill for any large animal practitioner to master. I highly recommend Spurgeon's Atlas to anyone interested in large animal anatomy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of the large animal atlas, November 10, 2006
By 
Mary Mehler (St. George's Vet Medical School) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Spurgeon's Color Atlas of Large Animal Anatomy: The Essentials (Paperback)
This book is an excellent resource for the serious student of veterinary medicine and clinician alike. The pictures and illustrations are so complete it is almost as good as a virtual dissection. The format is easily moved through and the quality of the book in material, picture, discussion, etc. are authoritative and extremely helpful to the novice and allow for quick reference for the experienced clinician.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anatomically Correct & Useful, February 9, 2008
This review is from: Spurgeon's Color Atlas of Large Animal Anatomy: The Essentials (Paperback)
As a vet student, this book has really helped me study large animal anatomy. The horse and goat pages are especially useful, including common clinical problems. I think this book would be wonderful for animal owners wanting to get a better idea of anatomy.
