I would recommend this book to some students of veterinary science and veterinary pathology, but it is hard to keep pace with such a rapidly changing field - and in some sections, this book hasn't even tried. Glaring errors and out of date references are present in some sections (e.g. the section on Swine Influenza does not mention the zoonotic potential of the virus or its presence in avian species). Other sections contain information and figures which are hard to obtain elsewhere. Use this book - but with caution.

I would like to recommend this book to any vet students who wish to buy this book. This book may be a little heavy to carry around but the it's good as a back-up reference book. The explanation on the topic of inflammation and neoplasia is good and to the point. On inflammation, it's divided to the groups of inflammation and and in the topic of neoplasia differentiates benign and malignant tumours very detail. I like this this.

While the struggle to free Namibia is over, this book still illustrates the apartheid-era view that once dictated that Namibia remain a South African colony. Maddening and inaccurate, this book is recommended only if you are interested in learning more about this discredited perspective. Now that Namibia is a 7-year old stable democracy, the views represented here have entered the dustbin of history.
