Veterinary Science by James Yeates

Veterinary Science by James Yeates

James Yeates covers the history of veterinary science, considering the roles of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention in animal health. Discussing recent challenges such as the outbreak of BSE, and antibiotic resistance, he considers the future of the field, and difficulties in balancing the interests of owners and animals when they don't coincide.

DrYeates's accessible, engrossing, and compassionate overview of the history, current state, and future of veterinary science ultimately underscores the vital need to apply the concept of one health to sustain and improve the well-being of all creatures worldwide. * Dr. S.M. Johnson Chiang, World Veterinary Association President *
