Clinical Anatomy & Physiology for Veterinary Technicians by Thomas P. Colville and Joanna M. Bassert is the first comprehensive work designed to cover clinically relevant Anatomy and Physiology content. Written by veterinary technician educators at a level appropriate for students, it covers dogs, cats, horses, and cattle, which are integrated throughout the chapters. A separate chapter at the end of the book is devoted to birds. The focus is on essential content needed to understand the clinical relevance of anatomical/physiological principles. Illustrations support text discussions whiles pedagogical aids, such as 'Clinical Application' boxes and 'Test Yourself' boxes help promote understanding of principles.
For veterinary technicians and their professors, this book is a gift. It not only teaches the basics of anatomy and physiology but covers comparative domestic animal anatomy as well. No longer will the vet tech have to depend on human anatomy texts or buy expensive, huge volumes on each separate animal. The book is beautifully written and distills complex, large topics into simple manageable material. For veterinarians, the book is a great way to quickly review anatomy of all the species. For the nonprofessional reader, it would be a fascinating look at how animals are the same and yet different. The diagrams alone are worth the purchase.
