"This manual contains comprehensive information on relevant
physiology and pharmacology as well as detailed instruction in the
art and science of equine anaesthesia.

It boasts the best chapters on regional anaesthesia in any text on
equine anaesthesia." (Equine Veterinary Education, 2007)

"...this appears to be a very useful book for veterinary
students, nurses and equine clinicians - whatever their area of
interest." (Vet Times)
