This review is from: Textbook of Veterinary Anatomy 3rd edition (Hardcover)

This text was a required book in my first year vet anatomy course. I must say, the pictures and diagrams are only adequate. Meanwhile, the actual text itself was laborious to read and so full of jargon and unnecessary detail that it literally gave me a splitting headache each time I attempted to read it. Please, please, if this is not a required textbook, don't buy it! There are much better anatomy texts out there!

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than most, June 8, 2001

This review is from: Textbook of Veterinary Anatomy, 2e (Hardcover)

This book can be very helpful. It offers quite a few radiographs which point out many common structures. It's really hard to read straight through, but as a reference it's unbeatable.

This review is from: Textbook of Veterinary Anatomy 3rd edition (Hardcover)

This book is great if you have time to sit down and have a good read of it. It is not useful for quick checking of anatomy, yet this is what an atlas is for. If you take the time to read sections entirely it gives you a great understanding of the "big picture" and explains functional anatomy well.
