Review

[Reviews of the hardcover edition]
"The book is an excellent short consult or review.... The
tables of contents are listed alphabetically as well as by systems,
which makes it easy to rapidly locate basic information on a given
subject. I find this text to be valuable for locating
relevant information quickly to provide a reminder of important
aspects of disease. It should prove useful to veterinary students,
but more so to veterinarians with a solid scientific background." -
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association,
September 2009


"The editors have done an excellent job of revising this
edition. This is a must-have book for the equine practice or the
veterinary student." - Veterinary Information Network
