Kritik

"This book will be a welcome resource for veterinary and graduate students who are studying the fascinating and increasingly complex subject of immunology. It is reasonably priced for practicing veterinarians who want to review the mechanisms or diagnosis of immune-mediated or immunodeficiency diseases or brush up on the concepts of vaccinology." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 September 2014)

"Students will find the format more accessible than most and will welcome this fine survey!." (Midwest Book Review, 1 May 2014)

"This little book is an example of how 'first impressions can be deceiving'. It is quite simply a little gem and deserves its place on the bookshelf next to Ettinger." (Veterinary Record, 21 December 2013)

"In this book Kit Sturgess has provided a high class reference 'pocket guide' to feline internal medicine. It follows an evidence-based format and is in my opinion a useful book to have on any veterinarian's bookshelf. This book will be viewed time and time again, and should be considered essential reading for veterinary students and recently qualified vets in first opinion practice." (EJCAP, 1 October 2013)mehr
