Main description:

The clear layout and accessible pitch, along with the large number of photographs provided, makes the book very appealing for students. The book provides more detail for each picture than competitors, as well as clinical correlations for the different anatomical regions. Associating histology with clinical examples is a hard concept to grasp from lectures and this book makes it comprehensible.
In veterinary schools nowadays, students of histology (a core Year 1 or 2 module) are exposed to both the normal and the abnormal in the same session, mirroring how veterinarians will need to work in clinical practice. This is the only book available to veterinary students that combines histology (normal structure) with pathological (abnormal) cases, including the clinical correlates.
Most textbooks of veterinary histology either cover a smaller variety of species, have no or very little links to pathology, or lack the extra explanatory text and correlation with abnormal structure/architecture. For those reasons, in many occasions, medical (and not veterinary) histology books are heavily used in vet schools for learning and teaching. This book fills a gap for a VETERINARY textbook that includes clinical correlates and a broad range of species.
