Great for nursing students.......2007-08-29

This book is great for nursing students, the Physician teaching A&P recommended this book and he was on the money, anyone going into the healthcare field should really think about this book, you will pass your A&P test!!!

Truly Essential.......2007-03-10

I can't recommend this book enough. Own it, love it. There is nothing else to say. This book recommends itself.

Very helpful anatomy guide.......2003-02-16

As a massage therapy student, i found this book to be a great help in studying anatomy. A page is devoted to each bone/muscle, making for clear, large drawings with brief but direct text on bony landmarks and origin/insertion/action of the muscles, plus miscellaneous information. The book also classifies muscles by movement at the joints, to simplify studying by joint action. All in all, a great study guide for students and reference for the professional.

Good reference and learning tool, but has some errors.......2000-07-02

I'm a massage therapist, and we used this book as our Kinesiology book. It has a few errors (mainly in spelling) but the detail of the drawings is great, and you can color in to help you remember if that helps you to learn. Its a great reference!

Essentail addition to any healthcare library.......2000-04-28

This book is great. I would recommend it to anyone interested in healthcare. Fantastic pictures and drawings and well-planned overall.

Neuroanatomy for the masses.......2002-11-02

In many US medical schools, the didactic years are marked by an institution known as the Note Pool. Inasmuch as the prevailing motto is "Cooperate and Graduate," classes of medical students will join forces to systematically attack the task of assimilating the vast amount of factual information under which they're routinely buried. Because almost all lectures are taken in common (i.e., the first two years of med school jam everybody into the same classroom), it's possible for everyone to make use of the same notes.

Enter the Note Pool. Like the doctors they'll become, medical students approach their work with different aptitudes, interests, and educational backgrounds -- and they *specialize*. If there are five lectures in biochemistry every week, the average class of med students is bound to have at least five members with a background (often at postgraduate level) in biochemistry, and there will be a volunteer for each lecture who will accept responsibility for concentrating attention on a particular day's presentation, bashing the material into cogency, and submitting it for photocopying and distribution to the entire class.

Back in the days when we ran off our notes on a mimeograph machine, I was a sort of "utility infielder" for our Note Pool, filling in when people couldn't make it to class, handling the extra lectures that got shuffled into our schedules, and generally shouldering the extra work that came along. (Needless to say, I became a general practitioner.) Neuroanatomy was one of those one-trimester courses that "came along." I got stuck with both of the weekly lectures, and that leads us to a discussion of *Manter and Gatz's Essentials of Clinical Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology*.

Bearing a double burden of lectures to cover (while also running the Note Pool's mimeograph machine), I had desperate need of a "cheat sheet" to help me get at the essentials of this subject, and I found it in a much earlier edition of this book. Lucid, economically written, and perpetually on-point, *Manter and Gatz* enabled me not only to educate myself in the essentials of human neuroanatomy but also to put the material in order for the rest of my med school class. The present edition (reviewed here) is BETTER than the book that saved our collective butt back in the days before Mangled Care, and I would recommend it not only to medical students and the FMGs striving to break into the bleak present practice environment but also to medical writers in need of an inexpensive, reliable, and accessible source of information on this extremely important subject.

As the present electoral hoo-haw amply demonstrates, the vast majority of the population certainly doesn't make any effective *USE* of what they're carrying between their ears. This notwithstanding, the silly boogers do have central nervous systems, and it behooves those of us responsible for the medical care of these damned fools to know how those neurons and their supporting structures are organized. *Manter and Gatz* provides that much and more.

Book Description

Essentials of Veterinary Hematology is a concise text on the subject of veterinary hematology. It has been written to provide a ready source of current and fundamental information necessary to the understanding of basic concepts in hematology as a discipline and veterinary hematology as a specialty. The book is aimed at undergraduate veterinary students, veterinary medical technologists, animal technicians, and all those interested in an abridged text in comparative hematology. Graduate veterinary students can use it as a ready source for reviewing the pathophysiology of blood as it relates to clinical veterinary medicine. A generalized approach to the interpretation of various hematologic abnormalities is presented throughout the text, along with comments on species-specific hematologic attributes and hematologic abnormalities encountered in various species.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Resource.......1998-07-22

This is an excellent resource for clinical pathology and hematology. Unlike the encyclopedic Schalm's Veterinary Hematology, this book is a condensed, handy, affordable and up to date reference to the interpretation of hematology in the context of health in various (mostly domestic) species. It is excellent for students familiarizing themselves, or for clinicians needing a quick interpretation. It has excellent pictures and is well indexed. The most useful sections are those on reference values of numerous species, and interpretation of variouis morphologies. The book is mainly a mammal oriented book, and those needing avian or reptilian interpretation, should look elsewhere (or write their own reference).

Wonderful book, must buy for medical histology class.......2003-06-27

This was a recommended book for my medical histology class. Most of my other textbooks were informative but quite boring. However, this book kept my interest because it was written in a way to make learning easier. My study group and I also used the following which is on amazon: Histology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi
The questions were right on target with the type I saw on my exams in my medical histology class. I highly recommend both books. In addition, I also used both these books to study for the histology portion of the USLME step 1. I passed the USLME step 1 the first time with the aid of these two books.

I have gone thru several histology books but yet I keep coming back to Cormack's Essential Histology.
This is book is your beacon of light for Histology.
