<p>“The book is an excellent reference for students and clinicians. The authors are to be congratulated on amassing and sharing their collection of photographs.”  (<i>Australian Veterinary Journal</i>, 26 September 2014)</p> <p>“That does not detract from the basic value of this atlas, which is well worth the price and will be of value to pathologists, pathology residents, and clinicians involved in equine disease investigations as well as to anyone performing postmortem examinations of horses.”  (<i>Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association</i>, 15 June 2014)</p> <p>“Clinicians who perform numerous field postmortem examinations are most likely to find it a particularly useful text.  Similarly, this book will provide a sound reference manual for new graduates, interns and residents in equine medicine and pathology.”  (<i>Veterinary</i> <i>Record</i>, 22 March 2014)</p>

<p><i>Color Atlas of Equine Pathology</i> offers a practical guide to identifying equine diseases, presenting a single resource with more than 1000 images showing predominantly gross pathology. Organized by body systems, the book allows for picture matching during or after an equine necropsy. In this user-friendly atlas, each chapter takes a common format, presenting the disease process as well as congenital, degenerative, inflammatory, and neoplastic sequences, with text boxes offering quick reference to key information.</p> <p>The book begins with an introductory chapter summarizing the principles of the equine field necropsy, and subsequent organ-based chapters depict gross features of disease, focusing on macroscopic digital images supplemented by histology and immunohistochemistry when necessary.  Some clinical information for correlation with pathology is included. <i>Color Atlas</i> <i>of Equine Pathology</i> is an essential resource for diagnostic veterinary pathologists and pathology residents, as well as for equine practitioners performing necropsies in the field.</p> <p><b>Key features</b></p> <ul> <li>Presents more than 1,000 high-quality color images showing primarily gross pathology and significant histopathology and indirect immunohistochemistry</li> <li>Aids identification of equine disease, with a user-friendly format to show the correlations between clinical signs and gross and microscopic lesions</li> <li>Provides a comparison guide for clinical presentations during or after an equine necropsy</li> <li>Offers a synopsis of the principles of the equine field necropsy</li> <li>Covers diseases found in the neonate, juvenile, and adult horse</li> </ul> Focuses on diseases usually found in North America
