    • A combined text and atlas: takes into account a variety of species, an ideal resource for developing a comprehensive understanding of anatomical structures and relationships
    • Integrated sectional anatomy and contemporary diagnostic imaging: a window into the application of anatomy in diagnostics

    Highlights you won't want to miss:

    • A new chapter on avian anatomy: the fundamental structural features of birds, at a glance
    • Over 1100 exceptional images: anatomical specimens and histological images, thin slice plastinations, colour schematics, diagnostic imaging, sectional anatomy
