Reseñas

"With 15 contributors, this is a well illustrated (more than 300 high quality color illustrations), well-written book on the ear and related diseases. Since a great many office calls are generated by ear problems, I can imagine that this book will be used frequently. The treatment of ear diseases is difficult, both because so many are stubborn cases, and also because owner noncompliance is often a contributing factor to the delay in resolving the problem. This book will give the practitioner a leg-up on diagnosing and treating some of those tough cases. The consistent presentation of each disorder includes an introduction, color illustrations of the condition, description of diagnostic techniques, treatment options, suggested readings, and updated references."
