"The publication of Invertebrate Histology finally provides a central and exhaustive reference for the gross and microscopic anatomy of the major invertebrate phyla.... While the information about taxonomy and life history are illuminating, it is the detailed gross and histological reference images, line drawings, and abundant text explanations that really make this book indispensable to the veterinary anatomical pathologist. These will allow the pathologist to describe the location of histological lesions accurately and consistently, and by extension, interpret their significance with more confidence.... I think most veterinary pathologists would find this text fascinating and quickly come to rely upon it as a reference for normal invertebrate structures at the gross and microscopic level."
