"The 12th edition continues the long and proud tradition of this classic textbook in veterinary physiology, which was first published 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 "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
