Infos

This new resource provides a basic foundation in small animal
anatomy for students of veterinary medicine, animal science, and
veterinary technology. Extraordinary accuracy and beautiful
original artwork make this a truly unique learning tool that
includes the anatomy of all organ systems in the dog, cat, rabbit,
rat, and guinea pig - all described in a consistent manner.

Learning features include: carefully selected labeling helps
students learn and remember structures and relationships; male and
female of species are depicted on facing pages so topographic
anatomy can be compared; structures common to various animals are
labeled several times, whereas unique structures are labeled on one
or two species so students can make rapid distinctions of the
structures peculiar to certain animals; and an introduction that
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 from
extraneous material so that those using the atlas can concentrate
on the essential aspects of anatomy. It will be an invaluable
resource for veterinary students, teachers and practitioners
alike.

Rezensionen

"This book will be an invaluable resource for veterinary students,
teachers, and practitioners alike as it manages to present
information in a manner that is easy to understand by almost any
reader". (Mammalia, 2010)

"This atlas fills the gap between... highly detailed references
and oversimplified anatomic descriptions. The authors have
achieved their objectives by providing accurate descriptions of the
most pertinent anatomy while avoiding excessive detail... it
manages to present information in a fashion that is easy to
understand by almost any reader. Veterinary students will
appreciate the comparative nature of the book, with the range of
species presented. Professionals with more advanced knowledge will
find the atlas useful in explaining anatomy to laypersons, clients,
and students." - Doody's Reviews, June 2009

"The Color Atlas of Small Animal Anatomy: The
Essentials beautifully depicts the topographic anatomy of organ
systems in dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, and guinea pigs.... The atlas
is an invaluable source of accurate basic anatomic illustrations
for veterinary medical students, practitioners, and educators and
contains reasonable details to be of use for laboratory animal
researchers." - Journal of the American Veterinary Medical
Association

"I would recommend this book for any clinic or hospital and
suggest that your technicians and staff will use it often." -
