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.

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.

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.

Book in excellent condition, and was here sooner than I expected. I would say this is a trusted source to get your books. Thanks

Fantastic book, the colour plates with their detail are fautless. One of my co-workers was very interested in it for her T.A.F.E. students (Equine nursing), many who are quite young and just learning. The simplicity of discription is extremly user friendly. Even some of the Veterinairians that I work with were very impressed, and say that they would use it for a quick refresher reference book.

it's really neat and clear, but I am still looking for anatomy pictures of Rectal View, which is what you should realize when you're palpating the animals. There is no such pictures in it.

I would recommend this atlas over any of the atlases recommended by my school. The labeling is clear, and the pictures are really nice. It was especially great for horse and ruminant anatomy. Also good for helping picture organs in 3 dimensions.
