Book Reviews of Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy: A Laboratory Dissection Guide
Book Review: Not worth the price
Summary: 2 Stars
This lab manual is lacking in several areas. The illustrations commonly misrepresent the size or appearance of anatomical features, making it hard for the students to know what they are looking at. It also fails to provide illustrations that clearly label several of the features it asks students to find. Probably the most irritating part about the book, however, is the author's insistence on using the most obscure names for features instead of the names commonly used by other anatomists in the field. Descriptions of embryology are also limited, and functions are rarely discussed.
Overall, the book is decent enough if students need a basic overview of the anatomical structures of the dogfish, necturus, and cat. However, there are much better anatomy lab manuals available, and they are probably less expensive!
Summary of Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy: A Laboratory Dissection Guide
This high-quality laboratory manual may accompany any comparative anatomy text, but correlates directly to Kardong's Vertebrates: Comparative Anatomy, Function, Evolution text. This text carefully guides students through dissections and is richly illustrated. First and foremost, the basic animal architecture is presented in a clear and concise manner. This richly illustrated manual carefully guides students through dissections. Throughout the dissections, the authors pause strategically to bring the students attention to the significance of the material they have just covered..General Books
