It is comprehensive and thorough, covering a wide variety of topics, including compassion fatigue and burnout. The book is more practical than others I have read on this topic, and this update has several new chapters and expanded sections on individual diseases. I would highly recommend it to fellow veterinary technicians, especially those studying for boards. <b>Doody's Book Review, April 2019</b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>THE EDITOR</b> <p><b>CHRISTOPHER L.
