"Comparative Reproductive Biology fills a niche that has not been
filled in many years. It provides broad as well as specific
information for the field of reproduction; this information is
founded in anatomy and expanded to assisted reproductive
technology." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical
Association, March 2009)
“Fortunate collaboration of authors with complimentary backgrounds…
The book contains numerous beautiful and highly detailed hand drawn
illustrations of comparative anatomy and placentation. Despite
[the] broad approach, there is an abundance of detailed information
in many chapers that can be difficult to find in one place.... an
essential reference for veterinarians, graduate students, and
scientists working or teaching in the field.” - Interface “It
clearly acheives [its] goal, particularly with its chapters on the
different types of assisted reproductive technology. Overall, [this
book] will serve as a useful resource for veterinary institutions
and research facilities.” - Journal of the American Association for
Laboratory Animal Science
