Bericht

"This modest sized, soft cover book is crammed full of everything you may want to know about our pregnant and neonate patients. It is exciting to have a book overseen by one of the limited Diplomats in Theriogenology in the United States making the book even more credible. All eighteen chapters are chock full of discernible information for quick reference." (VSPN.org, 30 September 2013)
 
"The editor should be very pleased with this book. It reads well, works well as a book and will no doubt be a useful resource in veterinary practice." (The Veterinary Journal, 1 August2013)
 
"All in all, I highly recommend this modestly priced book, and it will be a welcome addition to my reference shelf." (Journal of The American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 March 2013)
 
"I would definitely suggest this book to breeders, students and newly qualified vets , and I think it should be reserved a spot on all veterinary practice bookshelves." (Veterinary Record, 16 February 2013)
