REVIEWS

"This book is comprehensible in its entirety and boasts a logical structure. While it specifically suits UK student and qualified veterinary nurses, given the generic content, it will also prove a valuable resource to their international counterparts as well as to veterinary students. It will also make a functional addition to the bookshelf of veterinary practices and training providers." (Veterinary Record, December 2010)

"The author has written an excellent book for the beginning veterinary technician student, assistants or someone interested in a good overall review of clinical pathology. The book is not intended for veterinarians or experienced technicians unless they would like the review. This basic information is very well presented. I would highly recommend this text to any veterinary technician program." (Veterinary Information Network, June 2010)
