I like this book because, as a Big Picture/Context person, I appreciate that the the author ably describes the mechanics of disease in small animal patients. There are plenty of Vet Tech texts on the market that give a lot of detail, but when I went to tech school, I did not have a sicence or healthcare background. I had to totally re-wire my brain. We didn't have this book available, but I wish we had--it would have helped me put the puzzle together a lot faster.
A caveat: for the American tech, be aware that this book has a British author. You have to be ready for spelling differences (no big deal) and some unfamiliar phrasing. You might find yourself reading in a British accent, in your head. (I find drinking tea helps.)
This book gets only three stars because I think the price is outrageous. That's not unusual for textbooks--as far as I'm concerned, textbook publishers know they have a captive market and can charge whatever they want. But a lot of techs who are now out of school would buy this as a reference/refresher book, only it's out of most people's price range. And in case you don't know, vet techs only make a few quid an hour.
(Ooops! It seems I'm off again! Pity.)
Anyway. Get this book and, even if you're thick as mince, Bob's your uncle!
