3.0 out of 5 stars good text but lacks colour, March 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Thomson's Special Veterinary Pathology (Hardcover)

This is a very good and concise textbook. However I think it is a big minus that all the pictures are in black and white. Colour pictures are extremely important for students of pathology!

4.0 out of 5 stars Thorough, yet concise and accurate, May 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Thomson's Special Veterinary Pathology (Hardcover)

This is an excellent reference book for pathology students of any specialty. There are good examples and descriptions of each topic, and the book is well organized, making it easy to search for a specific topic.

4.0 out of 5 stars student's opinion, June 27, 2005

This review is from: Thomson's Special Veterinary Pathology (Hardcover)

This is a great book, but some of the pics need color to more be useful. The text from this book combined with the photography work of the Color Atlas of Veterinary Histology would make an ideal book.
