For the teacher in veterinary clinical medicine or clinical pathology, this book is a most welcome addition to his armamentarium of teaching aids. It will help bridge the gap between basic and clinical sciences for the student in veterinary medicine. In addition, it should prove of value to the veterinary clinician in the interpretation of laboratory test results, as well as being a source of comparative biochemistry for the research worker in biology. There are 13 chapters devoted to organ function, plasma protein, fluids of the body cavities, porphyrins, uses of isotopes in veterinary clinical medicine, fluids and electrolytes, and disorders of carbohydrate, lipid, and mineral metabolism. There has been some attempt in each chapter to include sections reviewing biochemistry and discussing special tests, factors affecting interpretation of biochemical findings, and comparative normal and abnormal values. Certain chapters, such as that devoted to the use of radioisotopes in veterinary medicine,
