A Must Have For Any Veterinary Medical Student.......2007-10-10
Immediately add this book to your list of college books, I guarantee you will be glad you did.
The Merck Veterianry Manual.......2007-08-23
As a medical professional, farm owner and provider of care for horses, dogs and cats, I have found this manual helpful. It provides clear information for the reader who has at least some knowledge of medical and veterianry vocabulary.
A copy of this important book should be on the shelf of every farm and livestock owner.
Handy Manual.......2007-02-11
If you have pets or livestock- then this book >may
< be quite handy. I have used it several times to help with ailments, drug use, etc however- this is NOT a book meant to replace your own veterinarian. Don't even think it will. People who graduate vet school are trained professionals, the rest of us on the farm might have practical experience- and that is just one small part of animal health.
I am happy with mine- having a medical background helps in reading this as it is not meant for the lay reader. Would I buy it again, yes. Would I recommend it to the farmer down the road? No.
Excellent Book.......2007-01-24
Being a veterinarian i would like to review all the material that i studied during my undergraduation. I thought Mercks would be the best to fulfill my interests and i found that the contents in the book are better than what i expected. I suggest this book to all the veterinarians across the world and i am sure this book will make u memorize alot of information which u may not get in any other book.

Veterinary Help for the Non-Veterinarian.......2006-08-18
This reference book is excellent for people with some knowledge
of medical care (I am a nurse). I always use the Merck Manual
for human info, but as a first-time dog owner who has a dog with
a few problems, I asked our vet if such a book existed for
veterinary issues. I was delighted when he told me that yes,
there is a Merck Veterinary Manual! The non-science minded
person might find the terminology daunting. The other book I
bought at the same time was
"The Five Minute Veterinary Consult", and I find that the two
books together give me all that I need in answers.
Book Description
A comprehensive, reliable source of information on all aspects of animal healthcare, completely redesigned and updated with 500 additional pages and more than 50 new or expanded topics.

Good reference but it's available on the web.......2005-12-10
This is a great general veterinary reference but you can access all of the information on the web. I'd rather access this information for free instead of adding another book on my bookshelf.
If only i could purchase MVM when I was student..........2003-10-04
Very useful book. Exposition language very easy. Altough my english isn't good, I understand and MVM help to me.
Invaluable if you know what you are talking about.......2003-04-28
This is a great book. If you already know alot, then you will be all set. I've only been an assistant for 2years, and reading this is difficult, if I didn't have a vet dictionary I would be lost. If you are well trained then I see this as a wonderful book to have, maybe invaluable.
Great referencing!.......2002-11-25
As a veterinary technician who graduated in '94 and is out of the clinics, but still works in Animal care, it is the best. I refer back to it all the time. I don't remember everything I was taught and especially being away from practices, it is perfect. It has EVERYTHING!! I carry it with me, it is like my bible! Nothing beats this either, I had other books that I have tried to refer to, but this is ideal as I stated it has everything.
Don't go to vet school without it!.......2002-09-28
The Merck Manual is a MUST HAVE for all vet students. It discusses most species and the common problems of each. It has an excellent appendix with all sorts of useful information including normal TPRs, conversion charts, and zoonoses, etc. While it does not go into great depth on pathophysiology, it is a perfect place to look up quick rule outs and basics. No matter what species or organ system we're studying, I use my Merck nearly every day.

Book Description
For one week in late July of 1877, America shook with anger and fear as a variety of urban residents, mostly working class, attacked railroad property in dozens of towns and cities. The Great Strike of 1877 was one of the largest and most violent urban uprisings in American history.
Whereas most historians treat the event solely as a massive labor strike that targeted the railroads, David O. Stowell examines America's predicament more broadly to uncover the roots of this rebellion. He studies the urban origins of the Strike in three upstate New York cities—Buffalo, Albany, and Syracuse. He finds that locomotives rumbled through crowded urban spaces, sending panicked horses and their wagons careening through streets. Hundreds of people were killed and injured with appalling regularity. The trains also disrupted street traffic and obstructed certain forms of commerce. For these reasons, Stowell argues, The Great Strike was not simply an uprising fueled by disgruntled workers. Rather, it was a grave reflection of one of the most direct and damaging ways many people experienced the Industrial Revolution.
"Through meticulously crafted case studies . . . the author advances the thesis that the strike had urban roots, that in substantial part it represented a community uprising. . . .A particular strength of the book is Stowell's description of the horrendous accidents, the toll in human life, and the continual disruption of craft, business, and ordinary movement engendered by building railroads into the heart of cities."—Charles N. Glaab, American Historical Review
Customer Reviews:
great book.......2005-03-11
This is an excellent book. Stowell provides clear and abundant evidence to forward his argument that the Great Strike was more just an uprising of discontented railroad workers. As a high school student, I found this book to be an invaluable resource in writing my American History term research paper. It is packed with useful information, but is also stylistically well done, so as to hold the reader's interest. By exploring the human passions at the core of the issue, Stowell provides a fresh perspective on a topic which may otherwise seem (I thought) rather dull.
A great read!.......2002-12-17
This is a wonderful book for the lay person and professional historian alike. It puts a new spin on understanding the Great Strike and brings the streets of 1877 back to life. I have given this book as a gift to friends as well as enjoyed it in college classes. I am already looking forward to the author's next book.
a Five Star Book--Outstanding.......2000-10-27
Dr. David Stowell has written a page-turner while also managing to break fresh, new ground in the field of labor history. This exciting and insightful monograph should serve as an example to historians of all stripes on just how history should be written. Stowell's narrative and analysis mesh seamlessly as he masterfully recreates the tensions, forces, and personalities that ultimately clashed in the Great Strike of 1877. This is a must for any one interested in the late-19th century and labor. A wonderful display for labor history at its finest.

If you've read Eyebeam, you know they're one of the funniest comics of all time. Calvin & Hobbes meets Bloom County frosted with a little Tundra--we're talking laugh-out-loud funny. This book is no exception. Meet Molene and IM4U, and bust a gut with the rest of the staff at Shortbread and Snuff, LLC.
For those of you who've never read Eyebeam, don't deprive yourself any longer.
Book Description
Jimmie Rodgers, the first performer elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame, was a folk hero in his own lifetime and has been idolized by fans and emulated by performers ever since. His life story has been particularly susceptible to romanticizing, marked as it was by humble origins, sudden success and fame, and an early death from tuberculosis.
Nolan Porterfield's biography banishes the rumors and myths that have long shrouded the Blue Yodeler's life story. Unlike previous writings about Rodgers, Porterfield's book derives from extensive and detailed research into original sources: private letters, personal interviews, court records, and newspaper accounts. Jimmie Rodgers significantly expands and alters our knowledge of the entertainer's life and career, explaining the nature of his role in American culture of the Depression era and providing insightful background on the milieu in which he worked. Porterfield writes a new preface for this edition.

Book Description
As sport has grown, progressively replacing religion, in its power to excite passion, provide emotional escape, offer fraternal (and increasingly sororital) bonding, it has come to loom larger and larger in the lives of Europeans and others. It has become an inescapable reality linking public environment with intimate experience and thus offers the historian an opportunity to inspect and attempt to grasp all the dimensions of the recent past and their relative share in individual and collective experience. This collection considers the evolution of modern sport in Europe and examines its role in shaping masculine identity.

The ultimate information source for Captain Scarlet.......2002-03-03
"Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons" is one of the better "Supermarionation" series that came from the hands of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, known by Americans as well as those in the UK for their many classic puppet series "Supercar", "Fireball XL5", "Stingray", and especially "Thunderbirds"- and their classic live action "UFO" and "Space Precinct".
The Captain Scarlet series also was shown in the USA, but in a limited market originally and with wider exposure via compilation films on Showtime and HBO and later on SciFi Channel. Captain Scarlet marked one of the first Supermarionation series to have a truly dark and serious storyline, with an invisible alien race, the Mysterons, seeking revenge for an attack made in error on their cities on Mars. The Mysterons then declared war on Earth.
What made this story unique is that not only could the Mysterons destroy and regenerate matter of any kind- including humans, which then became their agents- they often freely killed humans and sometimes succeeded in their goals, winning as well as losing to the agents of the world-wide defense organization Spectrum. Chief among these agents (all codenamed after colors) is Captain Scarlet, originally killed then regenerated as a Mysteron agent...
Captain Scarlet also adopted a truly realistic approach to its puppet designs, which had realistic proportions, a surprising amount of visible bloodshed, and often were sculpted to resemble the voice actors
This book is remarkable and serves not only as a great complete episode guide, but is packed with an incredible amount of information about the series, character bios, its actors, behind the scene details, mechanical effects, puppet facts, and story details. and a complete history of merchandise and the rare 33 RPM record side stories.
Whether you're a fan of this excellent action-packed sci-fi series, or just curious, this book will answer nearly every question you might have, and is an official, complete, and excellent treasure trove of information and detail.
