Retaining the introductory flavor of the now classic First Edition,
this revision includes all the latest techniques in the field. New
information on methods of radio tag harnessing, new sections on
satellite tracking techniques and new types of data analysis are
all included. Still the only comprehensive, up-to-date,
introduction to this fundamental technique for wildlife and
behavioral biologists.
* A unique guide to the subject
* Full coverage of the very latest techniques in both terrestrial
and satellite tracking
* Detailed, practical guidance in how to fit tags, track animals,
source and evaluate equipments and techniques and analyse resulting
data
Born in the Isle of Man of Irish/Welsh parentage, Noel Stuart
nursed no other ambition than to work with animals. His lifelong
passion and his interest in complimentary medicine combined to
culminate in his eventual choice of career as a veterinary surgeon.
His work as a vet and second career as a writer is a rich tapestry
of down to earth practice alongside a sense of healing power beyond
science. This is balanced by a great sense of humour running a
sparkling thread through all that he writes. He can claim
distinction as being one of the earlier vets to treat fish and has
the dubious honour of force feeding "Daisy" an eight foot
alligator. He has enjoyed being a 'lollipop man', school governor
and Rotarian as well as being a choir member. The first two books
"It's a Dog's Life' and 'Man and Beast', using local marketing have
both had reprints. In his third book he is able to look back over
his life from his origins in the Isle of Man, education in Ulster,
despite the U-boat menace until his graduation as a vet in Dublin
and meeting the love of his life. Together with Margaret, their
adventures in practice take them to Loughborough, the Isle of Man
and across Canada until they finally end up in Devon and Cornwall.
During their life in Cornwall Noel becomes involved in fish
diseases, homoeopathy and dowsing to complement general practice.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Born in the Isle of Man of Irish/Welsh parentage, Noel Stuart
nursed no other ambition than to work with animals. His lifelong
passion for all creatures and his interest in complementary
medicine for humans and non-humans alike combined to culminate in
his eventual choice of career as a veterinary surgeon. Noel's work
both as a vet and his second career as a writer is a rich tapestry
of down-to-earth practice alongside a sense of healing power beyond
science. This is balanced by a great sense of humour running a
sparkling thread through all that he writes. Noel has studied such
unusually diverse directions as dowsing and the effect of ley lines
on cattle. He can claim distinction as being one of the earliest
vets of his generation to treat fish and once had the dubious
experience of counting an alligator as one of his patients! Noel
now enjoys an active semi-retirement in Cornwall. He turns his hand
enthusiastically to a wide range of endeavours from 'lollipop man'
to school governor and Rotarian. He may be found working with the
local writers' group, or travelling the world and being a guru to
his many grandchildren.
The first book to compile the clinical signs associated with
deficiencies, toxicities, imbalances, or exposures to minerals,
trace elements, and rare earth elements in humans and animal
species, Clinical Signs in Humans and Animals Associated With
Minerals, Trace Elements, and Rare Earth Elements aims to increase
awareness to improve diagnosis and to encourage further
investigation based on comparative data. Written by an experienced
veterinary clinician having worked in private practice, academia,
and pharmaceutical and pet food industries, this book includes data
on humans and primates, as well as companion animals, horses,
rabbits, reptiles, ruminants, poultry, fish, and species typical in
zoo populations. The subject material is divided into three
sections to provide easy access to information on clinical signs,
specific elements, or species. This book is written for medical and
veterinary researchers, clinicians, and practitioners, specifically
those working with animal nutrition and animal feed health.
Academics and public health scientists will also benefit from the
book's information and data on rehabilitating and maintaining
animal health.
This book covers most of the topics with latest information on
canine cancer in general and canine mammary cancer in particular.
The book is divided into 21 chapters covering almost all aspects of
canine cancer including its overview, occurrence, etiology,
classifications, polymorphism, radiological-immuno-hormonal-sex
hormone profiles, enzymatic-genetic-tissue prognostic markers and
different modern diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This book
also includes different research findings on canine mammary cancer.
The main objective of this book is to provide the latest
information to meet the requirements of not only undergraduate and
post-graduate students but also to the teachers and clinicians
involved in canine practice. The book contains more than 150 good
quality colour photographs of canine cancer, cancer diagnosis and
cancer treatments. This book would be of immense use to the
students, teachers and practitioners engaged in the field of cancer
research and treatment.
Genomics and Biotechnological Advances in Veterinary, Poultry, and
Fisheries is a comprehensive reference for animal biotechnologists,
veterinary clinicians, fishery scientists, and anyone who needs to
understand the latest advances in the field of next generation
sequencing and genomic editing in animals and fish. This essential
reference provides information on genomics and the advanced
technologies used to enhance the production and management of farm
and pet animals, commercial and non-commercial birds, and aquatic
animals used for food and research purposes. This resource will
help the animal biotechnology research community understand the
latest knowledge and trends in this field.
