Spurgeon's Color Atlas ofLarge Animal Anatomy: The Essentials is not a complete, detailed anatomic atlas. Instead, it presents topographic relationships of the major organs of the horse, ox, sheep, goat, llama, alpaca (a smaller species with long, lustrous hair), swine, and chicken in a simple yet technically accurate format. As an important food animal, the chicken is included with the large domestic animals in this atlas. Throughout the Atlas, most male and female of a given species are on facing pages. The majority of the plates contain information on the entire body. Some plates are confined to a region; a few contain organs isolated from the rest of the body. Whereas most systems (e.g., digestive and reproductive) are presented for each animal, other systems are included only for some species to illustrate general anatomic patterns. Structures common to the various animals are labeled several times; other structures are labeled on only one or two species, usually emphasizing specific anatomy (the anatomy peculiar to a certain species). Animal specialists authored plates illustrating selected clinical or husbandry applications that reflect the anatomy of the organs involved. The Atlas is intended for use by individuals at different stages of their education, serving as a survey of the specific anatomy of the different animals. Advanced 4-H club members, high school vocational agriculture students, and college students studying veterinary medical technology, veterinary medicine, animal science, and wildlife biology can use this Atlas as an introduction to the anatomy of common farm animals. The Atlas can also serve as a reference for horse breeders and trainers, as well as livestock and poultry producers. It will provide a quick review for persons with previous training in anatomy and will be an invaluable aid for the professional-e.g., a veterinarian or animal scientist-in explaining to a client some aspect of anatomy that pertains to an animal's condition and needs.
