Reviews

However, for novices tackling histology for the firsttime, the expansion of the introductory sections, helpful hints,information delivered mainly as coloured images and the interactiveDVD, all make the third edition very attractive anduser-friendly. (The Veterinary Journal, 1August 2013) Despite those deficiencies, the book is fairly priced andis a one-of-a-kind English-language, educational resource. (Journal of The American Veterinary MedicalAssociation, 15 March 2013) The CD provided will help you revising. The key topassing your next histo exam is nowavailable!. (Tomorrow's vets, 1 September2013) The text would be helpful to students studying veterinaryhistology and as a reference for both veterinarians in practice andveterinary pathologists. (Australian VeterinaryJournal, 1 April 2013) "The revisions provide the latest information while a DVD withan interactive histology atlas offers zoom capability and morestudy review questions, making this a 'must' for any college-levelcollection appealing to veterinary students." (Bookwatch, 1 December 2012) The great photographs in this book make it attractive, anddraw the reader in to explore the attached text explaining the waysthat the different types of tissue contribute to a workinganatomy.
