Book Reviews of Horse Anatomy: A Coloring Atlas

Book Review: Magnificent - every veterinary student should own a copy
Summary: 5 Stars

The act of following the outline of the drawings with a colouring pencil helps the reader to concentrate on details of structure which might be glossed over in conventional studies by eye alone. The instructions to colour separately specific parts, listed with each drawing, ensures that each part is carefully identified and yet, as the task of colouring in is a pleasant artistic endeavour, the learning process is amusing and interesting. Gone are the days of poring over dry texts, struggling to remember names of obscure parts of bones and how they fit together. After just one page of colouring, the student will be amazed at how much anatomical knowledge has been painlessly absorbed.

I strongly recommend photocopying each page as it's studied and only colouring the copy. Then the inevitable mistakes can be corrected without spoiling the original, and the book can be re-used for revision at a later date.

I think this is a wonderful book and believe every veterinary student should own a copy (buy a packet of 12 colouring pencils too!) The book will repay its cost many times, not just for 1st year anatomy students but also for those in clinical studies and, dare I say it, out in practice, where a sound understanding of anatomy is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment.

A magnificent book. Buy it now!
