Love this book, but I wish it had more pictures. Also, some pictures are not what the Dissector asks you to dissect (e.g. a picture of the shark shows a transverse cut [its head seems to have been cut completely off], and the text makes not one mention of you doing this). I love the cladograms in the first two chapters, but some of the names are outdated and misleading! Read up on your own, and if you have a mentor suggesting you this book he/she will tell you what's up (if they're a good one!)
While I HAD to buy this for a dissection lab, I decided to hang onto it instead of selling it back. Pretty useful book. Professors beware: there are a few minor innacuracies on the cat dentition and elsewhere.
So far the text and graphics have been exactly what I needed to prepare for my Comparative Vertebrate Anamtomy course. Conversational and easy read. Good explanations, but was hoping for a "key points" at the beginning of each chapter or more bolded words to show me what to focus on. Very accurate from what I have been learning in class.
Handy tool for Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy, especially when considering the origins and connections between all of the structures (i.e. bones, muscles, etc.). However, the are times when it is difficult to properly apply nomenclature to these 3-D structures, so I would highly reccomend spending time with actual specimens and clarifying any questions that may arise (which your TAs should be able to assist you with).
I bought this book for a vertebrate zoology class. Some of the text was a little above my head, but the class mainly used it for the awesome pictures and diagrams of dissection.
