LIBRARY ( EQUINE REPRODUCTION (1993); Edited by Angus O. McKinnon and James L. Voss; Published by Lea & Febiger; 1137 pages; 8 1/2" X 11"; U.S. $99.50. This might well be the equine reproduction book to end all equine reproduction books. The list of 95 authors is a virtual "Who's Who" in equine reproduction. The editors said about this giant volume, "The practice of veterinary medicine is progressing rapidly toward species specialization; within this, discipline specialization now occurs. However, the nature of our service necessitates talented general practitioners, and for the foreseeable future, they will remain the backbone of the profession. At the same time, education of the client has improved through greater access to information, and many clients have become more demanding and critical of veterinary services. This has placed many of us in unenviable situations. How do we remain cognizant of all the latest and pertinent research findings? Publication of most current research, at best, is scattered widely through many research and veterinary oducationaljournals. Researchers without a veterinary educational background have contributed greatly to recent discoveries and have published reports, albeit unwittingly, in journals beyond our usual access. How many practicing veterinarians routinelyscrutinize journals such as Biology of Reproduction, Animal Science, or even Reproduction and Fertility, apart from special supplements? Similarly, how many basic and applied equine researchers read the Proceedings of the American Association of Equine Practitioners or articles in popular equine magazines and have a real understanding of the relative importance of problems of the equine industry?"

From this the editors make the case for a need of a text which combines recent informationwithin the discipline of equine reproduction into a format useful for practicing equine veterinarians. This editor agrees with them that "Veterinarians in mixed practice, veterinary students, basic and applied scientists, and graduate students may benefit from the breadth and specificity of the informationpresented hem in 118 well referenced chapters." The two major parts of the book are The Mare and The Stallion. Them is also a short pan The Neonate, and a fourth part of Appendices. The part on the neonate is really too small to be considered complete. The 40 pages am divided into two parts: Cam of the mare and foal in the neonatal period, and Diseases of foals during the neonatal period; a total of 14 chapters. As a book of this title should be, nearly half of the neonate section is about mare cam, and much more informationis included in part 1 of the book about The Mare--- chapters on parturition, dystocia, lactation, congenital defects in foals, retained placenta, uterine involution and. Important chapters for every equine practitioners who does any broodmaro work am the chapters onAssessment of fetal well-being, postnatal cam of the foal, and identification of the mare and foal at high risk for perinatal problems. The major sections in the mare part of the book am: anatomy; physiology/endocrinology; breeding management; diseases of the reproductive tract; reproductive surgery of the mare; pregnancy, parturition and the puerperal period. With the same organization, the part on the stallion is divided into sections: anatomy, physiology,and endocrinology; breeding management; diseases of the stallion's reproductive tract; and reproductive surgery of the stallion. The book is available from Lea & Febiger on 90 day approval from 200 Chester Field Parkway, Malvern, PA 19355-9725; 1-800-638-0673.
