Reviews

..an up to date and comprehensive overview of equine practice... a practical and easy point of reference that is ideal for the general practitioner, as well as the equine-orientated veterinary student... a book that covers not only a huge range of topics, but successfully explores each of them in a relevant and up-to-date manner... The systems-based approach of this text is key to its easy-to-use feel... The authors must be commended on covering such a wide spectrum of topics, whilst still offering enough information to provide the clinician with a good level of understanding... a large number of illustrations are provided that include diagrams and photographs as well as ultrasound and radiographic images... this feature remains a particular highlight of the text... The authors set out to provide a text that could be well used on a day-to-day basis, and this is exactly what they have achieved. Equine Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction provides a user friendly reference source, full of essential information that is ideal for the first opinion equine practitioner. As a single volume, current manual on equine practice - this certainly makes an excellent choice. Equine Veterinary Education ...lavishly illustrated with excellent colour photographs, diagrams and radiographic and ultrasonographic images... a true work of the 21st century: beautifully designed and laid out, comprehensive and authoritative... brings together a huge body of the information which has been developing at great speed in the last decades... subjects are comprehensively with the photographs adding enormously to the value of the text... a magnificent achievement... will provide a comprehensive, accessible source of information for veterinary surgeons and students... -- Marion McCullagh Veterinary Practice 20120201 For the next generation of mixed practice vets, recent graduates and clinical students, Munroe and Weese have created a great first point of reference... The contributor list is impressive... The information contained in each section is sufficient to allow a thorough initial examination, to inform the client on their horse's condition and to direct the next diagnostic or therapeutic step... should be an essential part of any general practice's library. -- Richard Hepburn Veterinary Record 20120526 ...a very useful general textbook of equine medicine, surgery and reproduction... comprehensive, well organised, up to date, and easy to navigate... text is comprehensively written and is supplemented by numerous high-quality photographs, which have been skilfully selected to enhance the textual information... more than covers the necessary material for a general equine practitioner or mixed animal practitioner to successfully diagnose and treat most equine cases... would be a welcome addition to the general equine practitioner's or mixed animal practitioner's library. Easy navigation... clear and concise... an informative and time-efficient method of learning. -- Robyn Charman Australian Veterinary Journal 20120601
