The authors have fulfilled their expressed intent in Anatomy & Physiology of Domestic Animals to provide a text that, although primarily a physiology text, contains an excellent amount of anatomic information... The book will serve well as an introductory text for the needs of undergraduate students who have little or no anatomic or physiologic background. It will also serve as an excellent text for courses taught to undergraduate zoology, animal science, and preveterinary students. ( Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association , March 2009) Illustrations are used effectively to demonstrate many of the complex physiological processes that are explained in quite some detail in the text. Tables are used in a manner that helps to more clearly define the material... overall this book contains... stimulating information that students will find quite useful. - Doodys Book Reviews , December 2008
