The book does not present moral views but instead attempts to help readers in their thinking rather than telling them what to think. Such an objective is indeed a worthy one for all of us who have animal contact or care about the animal kingdom. This book meets its objectives extremely well, especially its goal of providing an objective reference for recognizing and understanding animal suffering rather than solely relying on subjective criteria."

Elsevier Health Sciences Veterinary Neuroanatomy
Book SynopsisSuitable for those with an interest in the functional, applied anatomy and clinical dysfunction of the nervous system in animals, this title offers an overview of the anatomical arrangement of the nervous system, basic embryological development, microscopic anatomy and physiology.Trade Review"Recently several good books on veterinary neurology have been published. However, these are essentially clinical accounts with just a brief description of comparative neuroanatomy. This book helps to fill some of the gaps with a good attempt to show the important relationship between neuroanatomy and clinical neurology...Each chapter is illustrated by very helpful coloured line drawings and photographs. Each section is summarised by a table of Key Points which give a helpful summary of the text...This book is reasonably priced and certainly worth purchasing by any veterinarian with a substantial caseload of neurological patients. December 2013, EJCAP This is an enjoyable and informative book...I enjoyed reading this book and found it very illumainating on a subject I already feel I know reasonably well... each section contained a fresh perspective or new information that enhanced my understanding of functional neuroanatomy. This combined with the novel approach to the subject, means that I would strongly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the subject, but particularly those who have found the existing teaching or publications difficult to understand."

Elsevier Health Sciences Color Atlas of Veterinary Anatomy Volume 3 The
Book SynopsisPresents photographic record of dissections showing the topographical anatomy of the dog and cat. This book looks at various aspect of veterinary anatomy. It enables you to see the position and relationships of bones, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and viscera that go to make up each region of the body and each organ system.Trade Review"This second edition has expanded considerably its predecessor and the main differences are the frequent use of radiographs, CT and MRI scans, brief clinical notes to highlight the more significant areas and also access to an on-line resource and self-assessment tests. At over 500 pages the book is extremely comprehensive and the authors are to be applauded for their meticulous attention to detail. (...) I would foresee that this book will be an essential purchase of all veterinary pre-clinical students and should also find its way onto the shelves of most practice libraries." - Tim Hutchinson, BVSc CertSAS MRCVS; European Journal of Companion Animal Practice, October 2009 "This atlas is a valuable teaching tool for canine anatomy in conjunction with other sources. With its reasonable price, there is little doubt it will gain many friends among veterinary students." Vet Record, May 2010 ''The atlas offers regional and topographical anatomy in full colour images with the support of beautiful drawings labelled in full detailswith a nomenclature based on Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria. Dissections of the cadavers are viewed from the surface inward. The use of embalmed cadavers lacks realism, but it is helpful to study the topographical relationship between different anatomical structures.'' Simona T. Radaelli

Information is provided about the anatomical features and landmarks for conducting a physical examination, collecting biologicaTrade ReviewAs the title suggests, this is an in-depth anatomy textbook. It is ring bound, so it lies flat and fits nicely on a mayo stand in surgery, or on a counter during a postmortem evalu- ation. This book is visually appealing as it has many detailed, well- done, full color drawings of mouse and rat anatomy throughout. Topics are covered that I didn't expect, such as the detailed section on Juvenile Features, which includes drawings of mouse and rat pups at < 24 hours, 5 days, 11 days, 21 days, and adult, explaining how you would sex each species at each age. This book is endorsed by the American Association of Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS), and the value of this book for laboratory animal veterinarians is clear. I do, however, feel that this book could also be a valuable resource for clinical practitioners. As an exotic animal veterinarian, for example, I was very interested to see the detailed drawings of the mammary glands. Mammary gland tumors are a common issue in mice and rats, so it is good to be able to appreciate how far that tissue extends from the ventral area and the actual papillae. Many of the other sections would be useful in establishing the locations of structures for radiographs, surgery, sample collection, catheter placement, etc.Overall, I found this book to be very interesting, visually appealing, and a detailed exploration of the anatomy of the mouse and rat, with the differences between the species clearly highlighted in the text. This textbook would be a useful reference for laboratory animal veterinarians and exotic animal practitioners.Reviewed by Teresa Bousquet, DVM, Park Veterinary Centre, Alberta for The Canadian Veterinary Journal, March 2019.Table of ContentsBody Regions.

New India Publishing Agency Recent Trends in Animal Behaviour
Book SynopsisAnimal behavior studies are essential for various reasons, primarily in conservation, livestock and wildlife management, animal welfare, sustainable utilization of animal and human resources, and ultimately, enhancing our understanding of human behavior. Early on, these studies were mostly observational, until Lorenz, tin Bergen, and Frischs groundbreaking work catapulted the field into the Nobel laureates realm. This led to extensive research in several areas of animal behavior, including information acquisition (neuroethology) and transfer (communication), ecological aspects (habitat-related, foraging strategies, migration, predator-prey interactions, population ecology, etc.), socio-biology (parent-filial interaction, cooperation, and conflict, grouping and dispersion, social organization, etc.), reproductive strategies, evolutionary aspects (kin selection, altruism, life history strategies, etc.), physiology (behavioral endocrinology, rhythms, neurobiology), and applied behavior (conservation, animal welfare, livestock production, wildlife management, man-animal conflict, etc.).
