Product Description
This is the latest edition of the standard in comparative pathology, used by practitioners and students alike as a comprehensive yet understandable resource. Rigorously revised, the sixth edition introduces a wealth of new information on immunopathology and pathogenesis, viral diseases, environmental toxins, parasitic diseases, and nutritional problems in domestic and captive animals. Approximately half of the information presented is new, as are about 200 illustrations. Plus, the text's presentation is improved, with a larger format, and a more reader-friendly design to appeal to students.

 Current sophomore in vet school July 12, 2003
i agree with what one of the reviewers above wrote, that the book does have some material that is lacking or outdated, however, i am currently in pathology 2 at my vet school, and i have found that this book does a very good job of explaining the various diseases and conditions (esp. the more common ones) in a way that makes it a little easier to comprehend, and supports and clarifies my professors notes greatly. i also found it useful when i was in pathology 1 with its explanations of inflammation, necrosis and neoplasms. it is rather large but i have found it useful for school, and most likely good to have around in practice as a resource. i recommend this book to students that are about to take pathology courses in vet medicine.
 A good book for some May 18, 2000

I would recommend this book to some students of veterinary science and veterinary pathology, but it is hard to keep pace with such a rapidly changing field - and in some sections, this book hasn't even tried. Glaring errors and out of date references are present in some sections (e.g. the section on Swine Influenza does not mention the zoonotic potential of the virus or its presence in avian species). Other sections contain information and figures which are hard to obtain elsewhere. Use this book - but with caution.
A good book for references March 31, 2000

I would like to recommend this book to any vet students who wish to buy this book. This book may be a little heavy to carry around but the it's good as a back-up reference book. The explanation on the topic of inflammation and neoplasia is good and to the point. On inflammation, it's divided to the groups of inflammation and and in the topic of neoplasia differentiates benign and malignant tumours very detail. I like this this.
