Updated to reflect tremendously expanded knowledge of the anatomy of the dog, this new edition describes and illustrates the specific morphology of the dog with some reference to other species. With eight new contributors, this text includes more in-depth understanding of the nervous system, fetal growth, bone formation, the lymphatic system, the organization of the brain, the structure of the eye and ear, and more! No other book on the anatomy of the dog has such up-to-date detail of structure as this third edition.
Customer Review: Quite Simply: The Best
Miller's Anatomy of the Dog (3rd Ed.) is the most comprehensive, best researched, most lavishly illustrated textbook on canine anatomy available. I teach veterinary anatomy at Colorado State University, and I advise my students that anyone planning to include dogs in their practice should own this text. Beyond the tremendous scope and excellent supportive illustrations, two things distinguish this book. One is Dr. Evans' meticulous adherence to anatomical nomenclature as dictated by the latest edition of the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (the international set of "rules" governing anatomical naming). Students can feel assured that the name given in the text (both in Latin and in English, in most cases) is the most correct for the structure. The second truly outstanding feature is the abundant footnoting, which is supported by an encyclopedic bibliography. Dr. Evans cites hundreds of original anatomical publications as he describes the common variations that have been described and presents relevant opinions about disputed functions or constructs. The bibliography is especially useful for anyone intending to use this book to aid their teaching or research. This book belongs on the shelf of all veterinarians and veterinary students with an interest in canine medicine and surgery.
Customer Review: Excellent, detailed reference on dog anatomy!
I initially didn't like this book because I was intimidated by it. Quite frankly, it has A LOT of information. I was required to buy this book as a 1st year vet student taking anatomy and grew to really enjoy this book. I will say that is very tedious to read straight-through, but for reference, it is unbeatable. Every student and clinician should have a copy. The pictures are wonderful and the color-coding of the vessels and nerves make the structures very easy to visualize. Highly recommended.
