Great

Textbook of Veterinary Physiology It is an excellent book! I received in perfect shape! Highly recommended!

A must for your veterinary library...

This book is a must for any veterinary student. My class was using a human physiolgy book, which was very informative, but was frustrating to use. The textbook of Veterinary Physiology is easy to read and well organized and has many tables and illustrations to help you understand the material. There are even case studies in the book that help you apply the information. I gave this book 4 stars, because while very informative, it does leave out a few things (those topics can usually be found in a medical physiology book). Overall, this book is a very good supplementation to veterinary students whose classes use a medical physiology book as their primary text. The only other downer (this is minor) is that the tables and diagrams are all black and white. Color diagrams would be a nice upgrade in the next edition.

This book saved me!

My physiology teacher wasn't the best, so I was VERY glad to have this book. It's very concise, yet extraordinarily well explained, with helpful illustrations. I'm not sure what I would have done this semester without it! Highly recommended.

A great physiology reference

I would highly recommend this book. The next best thing to sitting in one of Dr. Cunningham's lectures. It is easy to understand, uses great examples and has good practice problems. I bought it for first year physiology and am constantly returning to it to brush up for other classes. Dr. C also designed the cool cover.

very useful, well written

as a veterinary student I have found this book to be both well written and inclusive of much of the information that I need. I recommend this book to anyone in veterinary or biological sciences.
