Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Clifford Fred Shipley, DVM (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine)
Description: This multiauthored book on theriogenology of all common domestic animals, both large and small, also contains sections on camels, buffalo, and small mammals. The previous edition was published in 1996.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a reference on veterinary reproduction.
Audience: In my opinion, the target audience of veterinary students and clinicians should find the book very useful as a general theriogenology reference. The authors are all authorities in their fields and are very credible.
Features: The book covers everything from anatomy and physiology to diseases and surgery from the theriogenologists' view. It has excellent pictures, graphs and tables, and includes recent developments in embryo transfer and reproduction in the dog and cat. It has a few color plates; it would be nice to have more. For more advanced theriogenologists and students, it may not be as in-depth as some would like.
Assessment: I especially enjoyed the book and find it nice to have a reference that contains all common domestic species under one cover. Once familiarized with the format of the book, I found it easy to read. With recent advances in the field, the new edition is welcome. All in all, an excellent book.
