Biochemistry
1.  Biochemistry by Lubert Stryer

  "Fantastic pictures and diagrams, which are often used by my lecturers in their handouts. The integrated media isn't all that exciting. At the moment there is a discount if bought with no. 2."

Developmental Biology
3.  Developmental Biology by Scott F. Gilbert
The list author says:
  "I hate this book. It is confusing and poorly organised. I found myself having to look up words every sentence. The c.d rom would be fine if you were pre-GCSE. A far better embryology book is no. 4."
£42.99   Used & New from: £4.34

Essentials of Human Embryology
4.  Essentials of Human Embryology by William J. Larsen PhD
The list author says:

Horse Anatomy: A Pictorial Approach to Equine Structure
7.  Horse Anatomy: A Pictorial Approach to Equine Structure by Peter C. Goody
The list author says:
  "This has everything that you would ever want to know about horse anatomy in it. However, its layout is not great. There is a labelled picture on the right page and the labels are explained on the left"

Dog Anatomy: A Pictorial Approach to Canine Structure
8.  Dog Anatomy: A Pictorial Approach to Canine Structure by Peter C. Goody

Colour Atlas of Veterinary Anatomy: The Dog and the Cat v. 3
9.  Colour Atlas of Veterinary Anatomy: The Dog and the Cat v. 3 by Stanley Done
The list author says:
  "My favourite out of all the vet books I own. This is great, but only if you like atlases. Takes you through layer by layer with pictures and corresponding, well drawn diagrams."
Out of stock

Getting Horses Fit: Improve Your Horse's Performance
10.  Getting Horses Fit: Improve Your Horse's Performance by Sarah Pilliner

The Horsemaster's Notebook
11.  The Horsemaster's Notebook by Mary Rose

  "Good to get your basic horse anatomy and husbandry sorted. I have both this book and no. 10 but just one would be fine. This one is best if you know nothing about tack."

Spurgeon's Color Atlas of Large Animal Anatomy: The Essentials
13.  Spurgeon's Color Atlas of Large Animal Anatomy: The Essentials by Thomas O. McCracken
The list author says:
  "Basic and not really worth the money. This book has horses, cattle, sheep, chickens, goats and alpacas! Good diagrams, but they don't make up for the lack of photos. I still quite like it though."
