<p> Essential reading and an easily accessible overview of cattle diseases. [...] To encourage continual learning and professional development, the publishers include access to Pageburst for purchasers of this book. I would recommend this book to all farm animal practitioners, old or young, for, as the French film director Jean-Luc Godard said, 'photography is truth'. <p>Veterinary Record, August 2011

<p> What this textbook does well is to quickly provide the reader with enough information to come to the most likely diagnosis for certain diseases, based on a description of its clinical signs and with the use of good photography...The images are excellent and allow you to see what diseases actually look like, as opposed to endless text and droning lecturers! I would certainly recommend this book to all veterinary students in their clinical years and certainly those with a particular interest in cattle medicine. <p>JAVS, November 2011
