Читать книгу King's Applied Anatomy of the Abdomen and Pelvis of Domestic Mammals - Geoff Skerritt - Страница 9

Foreword

This publication is the latest of a series of textbooks the first of which was written by the late Professor A.S. King and colleagues. This series is now being continued by Geoff Skerritt. These textbooks and lecture notes initially were aimed at undergraduate veterinary students at the University of Liverpool. Professor King was always concerned to make anatomy useful by emphasising its functional importance so that students and veterinary professionals could acquire the basis for understanding the rationale of clinical practice in all its aspects.This functional approach is continued by Geoff Skerritt, with emphasis on modern imaging techniques and is complemented by concise clearly illustrated anatomic details. The author of this new publication, and the writer of this foreword, as colleagues of Tony King, have experienced the benefit of this functional approach to anatomy. This approach is likely to be of continuing benefit to the present generation of students and veterinary professionals.
