This comprehensive book is an exploration of the history of
veterinary medicine from the ancient world to the present as well
as an examination of the development of man's relationship with
animals through early domestication, usage for food, fiber,
traction, and transport to the current therapies and companion
animals. The development of the discipline of veterinary medicine
is explored through the transition from art to science and man's
deeper understanding of animals through research and investigation.
It is now possible to read both the recorded 4000-year history of
animal disease and veterinary development together with the story
of the animal-human relationships and welfare as one cohesive text,
with extensive backup. The book is organized so that it can be read
in a linear manner, or for those researching a particular topic, by
direct access to specific content. The species covered in detail
are equine, bovine, ovine, caprine, porcine, canine, feline, avian,
and aquatic, on every continent. The History of Veterinary Medicine
and the Animal-Human Relationship is both an informative read and a
definitive reference text for veterinary historians, veterinary
history societies, veterinary librarians, and archivists. Only one
hundred copies of this special limited run binding will be
available. They are printed white on blue linen stock, with feature
silver inlay on the front cover, printed end papers, colour-matched
head and tail bands, and a bookmark ribbon.
