A master storyteller continues the charming account of his experiences as veterinarian in rural Yorkshire. And although there are more cats and dogs as patients than before, there are plenty of large farm animals to deal with, frequently during the middle of the night. The detailed but succinct descriptions of people, places, and animals are a delight. Herriot’s unusual ability to identify individual characters, both human and four-legged, brings them to life–even for the most urban American. The endearing strand weaving all episodes together is the constant devotion of man to animal and animal to man. Chapters are short, the pace is rapid, and the stories are very easy to read–perfect for unmotivated readers. The author’s keen sense of humor will bring smiles to the faces of YAs, particularly when he tells a joke on himself. Nonfiction at its most entertaining best.
The late Alf Wight aka James Herriot left a legacy of books that excites readers to this day (and I presume will do so for decades more.) His gentle, self-deprecating style of humor and the portraits of the Yorkshire Dales farmers and country people are amusing and interesting.
The four books, named after a hymn "All Creatures Great and Small" are joined by this fifth volume with similar stories. James (as Alf called himself) now has his own practice in Skeldale House, is married with two kids. The stories are very similar to the first four, with goof-ups, miracles, and funny tales. Somehow, these stories are not quite as hilarious as the first set, possibly because Mr. Herriot had written up most of the good stuff, or to represent the seriousness of raising two kids and having his own practice and being a settled man rather than a raw youth just out on his own. Nonetheless, if you lapped up all the "Creature" books, as I did, and you mourn the loss of Dr. Wight, who passed away in the 90’s, then you will want to read these stories and vicariously enjoy more of the daily life of a country vet.

In this book, Dr. Done and his colleagues at the Royal Veterinary College in London have produced beautiful picture atlas of canine gross anatomy. The book is primarily made up of hundreds of excellent-quality highly detailed photographs depicting dissection of a canine cadaver. Each photograph is accompanied by a brief description of the view and a labeled line drawing identifying structures visible in the photograph. The bulk of the atlas treats canine anatomy by a regional approach, starting with the head and progressing to the pelvis. The first chapter contains a very useful depiction of surface anatomy and its relationship to the boney skeleton (juxtaposition of photographs of a live dog with a skeleton is an outstanding way to teach palpable landmarks); radiographic anatomy accompanies these sections. The last chapter addresses feline anatomy in an abbreviated format similar to the canine anatomy.

Red Eye™ is a precision instrument which monitors gravity-fed drip infusions. It makes a significant contribution to the safety of patients who are receiving treatment by intravenous drip. It alerts nursing staff when the flow rate deviates from a set range or when the infusion bag is empty or a specified volume of fluid has been infused. If the flow rate deviates from a specified range, ward staff are alerted quickly with both audible and visual alarms. During the night, a bag light alarm can be used to silently alert staff. Red Eye™ registers every drop of fluid and constantly recalculates and displays the flow rate in millilitres per hour.
Red Eye™ allows staff to see at a glance how much fluid has been infused. Red Eye™ monitors the flow rate of intravenous drips, but it does not come into contact with the fluid. This means that risks of contamination or extravasation are minimised. Accurate measurements of drugs and liquids can be delivered safely as prescribed, with staff alerted once the specified quantity has been infused. Red Eye™ is powered by a rechargeable battery which lasts up to 6 days on a single charge. No mains cable means one less hazard on a busy ward. Red Eye™ has been rigorously tested and is approved for use in healthcare environments. Red Eye™ keeps accurate records of all infusion activity which can be easily downloaded to a PC for future reference.
With Red Eye,™ the need to constantly check on the progress of intravenous drips is significantly reduced. It enhances patient safety, reduces the time taken monitoring drips and improves the overall smooth-running of busy wards. Nurses’ time is freed up dramatically when using Red Eye,™ as the device constantly monitors drip rates allowing staff to concentrate on other vital tasks. If there is a problem, staff are alerted. Otherwise, they can get on with their jobs.
