Binding: HardcoverDewey Decimal Number: 636.089607 EAN: 9780683044812 Edition: 6 ISBN: 0683044818 Label: Wiley-Blackwell Manufacturer: Wiley-Blackwell Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 1392 Publication Date: January 15, 1997 Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell Studio: Wiley-Blackwell Editorial Review: Product Description: This is the latest edition of the standard in comparative pathology, used by practitioners and students alike as a comprehensive yet understandable resource. Rigorously revised, the sixth edition introduces a wealth of new information on immunopathology and pathogenesis, viral diseases, environmental toxins, parasitic diseases, and nutritional problems in domestic and captive animals. Approximately half of the information presented is new, as are about 200 illustrations. Plus, the text's presentation is improved, with a larger format, and a more reader-friendly design to appeal to students. Average Rating:

Other sections contain information and figures which are hard to obtain elsewhere. Use this book ... Read More Rating: - A good book for referencesI would like to recommend this book to any vet students who wish to buy this book. This book may be a little heavy to carry around but the it's good as a back-up reference book. The explanation on the topic of inflammation and neoplasia is good and to the point. On inflammation, it's divided to the groups of inflammation and and in the topic of neoplasia differentiates benign and malignant tumours very detail. I like this this. |
