"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."
—Reviewed by Dr. Christine Bayley for The Scope
The first comprehensive reference to invertebrate histology Invertebrate Histology is a groundbreaking text that offers a comprehensive review of histology in invertebrates. Designed for use by anyone studying, diagnosing, or researching invertebrates, the book covers all major taxonomic groups with details of the histologic features, with color photographs and drawings that clearly demonstrate gross anatomy and histology. The authors, who are each experts in the histology of their respective taxa, bring together the most recent information on the topic into a single, complete volume. An accessible resource, each chapter focuses on a single taxonomic group with salient gross and histologic features that are clearly described in the text and augmented with color photographs and greyscale line drawings. The histologic images are from mostly hematoxylin and eosin stained microscopic slides showing various organ systems at high and low magnification. In addition, each chapter provides helpful tips for invertebrate dissection and information on how to process invertebrates for histology. This important book: Written for veterinary pathologists, biologists, zoologists, students, and other scientists studying these species, Invertebrate Histology offers the most updated information on the topic written by over 20 experts in the field.
