Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is a very useful book providing most of the information required relating to equine wounds for the practitioner and veterinary undergraduate. It is written in a common-sense, easy to understand style, which would also be of value to the equine veterinary nurse, and the more informed layperson.
Clearly-presented diagrams accompany the text and many colour photgraphs obtained by the author and colleagues during his career in academia and clinical practice.
At £29.99, this book represents reasonable value for money for a hardback book on a subject which is frequently encountered in all levels of equine practice; at 9.5 by 6.5 inches, it will fit conveniently in the glove compartment of most practice cars!" Mark Collins, Veterinary Times, August 2003
the 'Handbook of Equine Wound Management', Derek Knottenbelt has filled an important gap in the literature.
This book aims to be a practical field guide to equine wound management, and it achieves this objective in a clear and concise style. It aptly fulfils the title of 'handbook', being small and portable in size, and small enough to carry around in the car.
The text is written concisely with numerous subheadings, lists and key points. There are many colour photographs and line diagrams that illustrate surgical procedures, bandaging techniques, and so on.
All in all, this is a useful little book, packed with good advice. It should be essential reading for all new graduates entering the equine practice, and will undoubtedly find itself at home in many practice cars." Tim Mair, The Veterinary Record, January 2004
