In 1997, Theresa W. Fossum and 4 colleagues wrote a comprehensive book on Small Animal Surgery. I have not seen it but I have heard excellent comments about its illustrations and descriptions. For this reason, I bought the Manual thinking that it was a summary of the larger text. Great disappointment! It is a summary but without pictures! Paraphasing Alice: "What good is a surgery book without pictures?" There is nothing wrong with the Manual, except the absence of pictures; I don't feel secure trying to image operating procedures guided only by text, regardless how good it is. The Manual costs $ 50 against $ 150 de original; I should have sprung the full price and bought the original.

This book covers most procedures you'll ever need as a practicing veterinarian. tough less comprehensive than Bjorab's or Harris's small animal surgery books, it simplify many procedures with wonderful colourful images. A very attractive price (~45$ instead of more than 200$),makes it the perfect decision for students. I think that most veterinarians will find it sufficient for their needs. Enjoy

Not much is known about Henry Hudson, and records are few, but Johnson manages to piece together all of the main elements into one easily-readable book. Johnson also brings his own experience as a sailor to the book, giving it a new facet for readers. Based mostly on Hudson's own journals, this is a concise picture of Hudson's known voyages, with a lot of interesting and informative asides. I recommend this book

I enjoyed this book. As a future student of Johnson & Wales, I felt that I was better prepared knowing a bit about the school, where its been and where its going. This is a must for anyone entering the school.
