Audience
Trainee and qualified veterinary nurses; first year veterinary undergraduates
Very small book less than A5 in size, making it perfect for student revision of key points. The book overall was really clear and handy to use. Covers all major species. Each section has a short quiz to test knowledge. Knowledge level starts at A-Level and increases as the book goes on. Overall a good overview text but lacks the detail that is needed with some courses.
Nice "cheat-sheet" and pocket companion for students to revisit the basic concepts.
Good book to aid revision or quick reference
