Cats are not referred to specialists as frequently as dogs, meaning the general practitioner must routinely treat cats that have been involved in road traffic accidents and other musculoskeletal trauma. This book is the first of its kind to provide a practical and user-friendly guide to feline orthopaedics. With a new author team, led by RCVS Specialist in Small Animal Surgery (Orthopaedics) and Veterinary Neurology Harry Scott, the second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. New chapters cover Physiotherapy and Oncology of the Feline Skeletal System. The book includes highly structured fully referenced text that provides a concise, straightforward guide to the recognition and management of specific diseases and conditions. In this new edition, the neurological causes of lameness have been given more in-depth discussion, with an emphasis on early recognition of clinical signs and diagnosis. The disorder sections are now divided into those likely to be associated with trauma (fractures and luxation) and those which are congenital or developmental. The text is supported by high quality radiographs, colour photographs and colour line drawings to illustrate principles, techniques and procedures. Combining their experience in practice and education, the authors have produced a book that appeals to general practice veterinarians, specialist feline practitioners and to students.

Through a number of engaging and illuminating vignettes, The Slow Rise to a Global World guides students through over 500 years of world history, exploring both the lesser-known and common happenings that have shaped a more globalized world. Readers experience world history through a variety of viewpoints, cultures, and angles, encouraging them to critically examine major events-and their various interpretations-throughout the last several centuries. Unit 1 covers the beginnings of our global world from 1300 to 1600, featuring readings that explore the Black Plague, the Ottoman Empire, the globalization of disease after 1450, and more. Unit 2 spans 1600 to 1900, following the rise of the Scientific Revolution, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, old and new colonialism, and nationalism. The final unit ushers students into the 1900s, with readings ranging in topic from the World Wars to the decolonialization and independence of Africa, concluding with the consequences of the Cold War on the globe. The second edition features new readings that cover the history of epidemics and the fear that drives them, the "New World" and the history of Indigenous peoples and Europeans in early America, China's impact on the world since 1945, and the concept of modern warfare as discussed through the lens of the World Wars. The Slow Rise to a Global World is an excellent resource for introductory courses in global affairs and world history.
