The quality of the figures in the book is inconsistent, however, the information is easy to follow. The histology examples are well done. Its nice to finally have an animal anatomy and physiology book that isn't necessarily geared toward veterinary students.By S. Robinson
On page 4 I found a minor mistake of 100 years, when the authors mention C.Bernard coined a term for homeostasis, they wrote it happened on 1965, when C.Bernard died in 1878.By J. Alberto Erales V
Sorry, I'w had bought this book, but there's no confidence anymore.
Thanks
