For the Twelfth Edition of Dukes' Physiology of Domestic Animals, William O. Reece has overseen the writing of an essentially new book that retains what was best about its predecessors. Long a standard text for veterinary practitioners and other professionals who seek to refresh their knowledge of particular subjects, Dukes' Physiology of Domestic Animals will now appeal to a new generation of students of veterinary medicine and animal science and to biomedical researchers. Section editors known for their scientific expertise and teaching skill oversaw the book's six main sections: The Body Fluids and Blood; Renal and Respiratory Function and Acid-Base Balance; The Cardiovascular System; Digestion, Absorption, and Metabolism; Endocrinology, Reproduction, and Lactation; and Nervous System, Special Senses, Muscle, and Temperature Regulation. This edition includes a complete listing of each chapter's contents immediately after the chapter head, study questions that highlight the major concepts of each major subsection, self-evaluation exercises at the end of the chapters, suggestions for further reading, and a comprehensive index.</p> 02 This is a major revision and redesign of a classic work in the field of veterinary medicine first published by Cornell University Press in 1933.

It provides the benchmark text with a comprehensive presentation of the physiology of domestic animals that is suitable for undergraduate students, as a practitioner reference and a basic resource for research scientists. The target audience remains undergraduate veterinary science students who will value the book for its thorough, precise, detailed explanations of both mammalian and avian function. . . . A copy of Dukes' Physiology of Domestic Animals is a must for veterinary students and practitioners who need to extend and deepen their understanding of function and dysfunction. It offers an excellent balance of companion and production animal content that makes it a valuable reference for large, small, and mixed practice . . . It remains the authoritative text for veterinary physiology."—Rosanne Taylor, Australian Veterinary Journal, July 2005 08 "A serious text on physiology that will be of considerable interest to animal science and veterinary students. . . . Its usefulness as a reference source for problem-based learning courses and the presentation of cases is clear. . . . Overall, this is a good investment as a physiology text for students."—Christopher Price, Canadian Veterinary Journal, April 2005 04 03 72 01 http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/resources/titles/80140100363860/images/80140100363860L.jpg 07 03 72 01 http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/resources/titles/80140100363860/images/80140100363860S.jpg http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/?GCOI=80140100363860 Comstock Publishing Associates 01 02 2021862 Cornell University Press Ithaca US 04 20040729 06 IN 01 10.5 in 02 8.25 in 08 90 oz 07 2021862 CUP Services http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu 02 CA MX US BV AL AD AM AU AT AZ BY BA BG HR CY CZ DK EE FO FI GE DE GI GR HM HU IS IE MK IT PS KZ LV LI LT LU UM MT MC ME NL NZ NO PG PL PT RO RU SM AX SK SI ES SJ SE CH TR UA GB VA 02 Y 21 6 01 02 x 99.95 USD 06 5013546051314 NBN International http://www.nbninternational.com 02 BV AL AD AM AT AZ BY BE BA BG HR CY CZ DK EE FO FI FR GE DE GI GR HM HU IS IE MK IT PS KZ LV LI LT UM MT MD MC ME NL NO PL PT RO RU SM AX SK SI ES SJ SE CH TR UA GB VA AU CA JP MX US NZ PG 02 Y 20 20040729 6 01 02 x 02 76.95 GBP
