The Introduction states the Manual 'will provide the necessary support ...to use proper laboratory technique to dissect preserved animal specimens to explore anatomy." However, there were no figures, photos, or instructions regarding dissection.
The book is thorough in its text, but lacking in dissection instruction.
Cranial nerve mnemonic is outdated and does not match the naming system.
Mnemonic uses "A" for vestibular cohlear (ie, old term of auditory) and "S" for (Spinal) Accessory.
All content is relevant and up to date
Nicely written.
Figures are very good.
Consistent organization
good
Lymphatic and Respiratory are put together in a chapter.
I think it is more logical to combine Lymphatic with either blood or cardiovascular.
Free of interface issues
no grammar issues
one of the few lab books to include both light and dark-skinned figures
