Book Reviews
"This book functions primarily in assisting veterinary students to visualize and understand what instruments are available for use in a myriad of situations. [It] is formatted in a rolodex formation that is a bit old-school but provides quick access to images that visual learners will appreciate,... [and] aid students in becoming familiar with diagnostic and therapeutic instruments. The format provides quick and easy access to what the instruments and equipment look like,... also provides annotations of the use of various pieces in practice. The stated objectives are certainly worthy, and the book is compact enough to carry in a coat pocket if needed—printed on good quality paper stock.... It will be useful to students as they go through clinical skills training in the laboratories prior to entering clinics. The sections on large animal instrumentation will be beneficial for students doing their required food animal and equine rotations. Knowing what senior clinicians are asking for and being able to deliver that instrument to hand will save a great deal of embarrassment." © Doody's Review Service, 2025, Dennis French, DVM (University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine)
