"In this age of emphasis on evidencebased veterinary medicine the authors fulfill their intention to expand this theme. However, opinion of such experienced anaesthetists should not be discounted; while there is more evidence than opinion than in previous editions, when evidence is sparse, the common sense advice from these authors is well founded. The layout is attractive and easy to use, and the book covers both general principles and practical advice. It should be on the shelves of every veterinary practice and in every student's library."
