DIFFERENCES

This book is different from anything available in the following ways:

•  Australian - it is produced entirely in Australia for Australian conditions and situations. The clinical, management and feature photos were taken all over Australia.

•  Comprehensive - it deals with almost every disease, disorder, disaster and situation that a horse owner is likely to encounter.

•  Broad scope - it includes many situations that are not dealt with in other books.

•  User friendly - it is written primarily for horse owners in straightforward language, but scientific and technical terms are used for accuracy where necessary.

•  Accurate and up-to-date - during production, the book has been reviewed by more than 20 experts in various fields to ensure completeness and accuracy. It was printed in December 2006.

•  Photos in sequence - many clinical conditions and management situations are illustrated with two or more photos in sequence which show the progression of a case - in most clinical conditions, from first presentation to cure.

•  Generous captions - all photos have captions that allow a reader to obtain the main benefit of the photos without having to read the whole section.

•  Huge index - The index is in large print for easy reading. It runs to 16 pages and contains all the names of conditions and subjects that a horse owner is likely to read about or hear of. Where a subject has more than one name, the valid alternate names are also in the index. A separate scientific index enables the reader to locate living things for which only the name of the genus is known.

•  Ongoing value - to continue to provide service to buyers, the secure website is added to and updated continually as new information becomes available. Book owners are invited to contribute to the secure website.
