Reviews

Fortunate collaboration of authors with complimentary backgrounds... The book contains numerous beautiful and highly detailed hand drawn illustrations of comparative anatomy and placentation. Despite [the] broad approach, there is an abundance of detailed information in many chapers that can be difficult to find in one place... an essential reference for veterinarians, graduate students, and scientists working or teaching in the field. - Interface It clearly acheives [its] goal, particularly with its chapters on the different types of assisted reproductive technology. Overall, [this book] will serve as a useful resource for veterinary institutions and research facilities. - Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science
