4.0 out of 5 stars Dellmann's Textbook of Veterinary Histology, March 7, 2000

By	edson joão da silva (Brazil) - See all my reviews

I am a professor and I use this book in teaching Histology for veterinary medicine. This is a good book for veterinary histology, but its weakness is about birds' histology; there are litle itens about it. This book could have more infomation about birds' histology.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time, May 30, 2007

By	L. Odendaal "Lieza69" (Cape Town, Western Cape Province South Africa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a complete waste of money and time. I only bought the book because it was prescribed for a Histology course in preparation for further study into the pathological basis for disease. The text is very often unintelligible and there are far too few details and illustrations. The histophysiology is inadequately described and all the photos and illustrations are in black and white. The CD rom might have been a consolation for the money wasted, but unfortunately many of the photos are out of focus.
I moved on to a human histology textbook. The book by Ross and Pawlina is well written and contains a host of detailed colourful diagrams. It also includes a brilliant CD Rom with exceptional photomicrograps. The plates generally start with an overview of the tissues and then move down to higher magnifications to elucidate the details.
The Veterinary Histology atlas by Bacha is all you need for the species differences. The text in William Banks is unfortunately for the most part outdated. However the book has additional diagrams and photos that are still very useful and relevant.
