New to the 2d ed. of this text are additional radiographs, CT and MRI scans, clinical notes at the beginning of each of the sections that highlight the clinically significant areas of anatomy, and an online element with questions for self-testing. Written as a textbook as well as a surgical reference, the work contains superb color drawings and precise color photos from dissection. Dissection photos are used copiously, making this an ideal resource for those veterinary students who are not carrying out their own or frequent dissections. The photos and their accompanying color anatomical drawings are supplemented with detailed captions that describe the area of the anatomy pictured. The volume is produced in an oversized format (9.75x12") especially well-suited for the study of images. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
