The most widely used surgical text on the market, Small Animal Surgery concisely explains and demonstrates the most common surgical procedures in veterinary practice. It offers an overview of general principles of surgery, including asepsis, the surgical environment, preparation of the patient and surgical team, instrumentation, suturing, postoperative care and pain management. Five new chapters on endoscopy comprehensively address the basic principles and techniques for this increasingly popular procedure, and new chapters have been added to address surgery of the brain and the peripheral nerves. In addition, separate sections are devoted to surgical principles and procedures for soft tissue, orthopedics, and neurology. With an authoritative author team, logical organization, unique elements, and full-color presentation, this new edition is an unparalleled resource for both students and practitioners.
<li>Concise treatment of over 300 of the most commonly performed surgical procedures</li>
<li>Strong foundation of important surgical principles, including asepsis, anaesthesia, wound management, and healing</li>
<li>Detailed surgical techniques are highlighted in colour for ease of use in the operating setting</li>
<li>Over 1500 superb illustrations and photographs, 75% in full colour, bring surgical conditions and procedures to life</li>
<li>Over 1000 boxed "Notes" in text highlight key concepts and precautions </li>
<li>Hundreds of tables, colour-coded for easy identification, provide quick access to formulas and calculations, normal values, clinical signs, special surgical considerations and more</li>
<li>Antibiotic, anaesthetic and analgesic protocols highlighted throughout</li>
<li>Important age considerations provide readers with variations in assessment and treatment of paediatric and geriatric patients</li>
<li>Integrates patient and owner preparation and care and ethical considerations as appropriate</li>
<li>New Section on Endoscopy, with 5 chapters covering general principles and techniques and common application of this important minimally invasive tool</li>
<li>New chapter on surgery of the brain</li>
<li>New chapter on surgery of the peripheral nerves</li>
<li>New ophthalmologic surgical procedures</li>
<li>New end-of-chapter Selected Abstracts of Recent Manuscripts feature high-impact clinical references with commentary </li>
<li>Thoroughly updated pharmacologic information, including antibiotic, anaesthetic, and pain management protocols</li>
<li>Hundreds of new photographs, radiographs, and illustrations enhance text discussions</li>

In Hitting the Brakes, Ann Johnson illuminates the complex social, historical, and cultural dynamics of engineering design, in which knowledge communities come together to produce new products and knowledge. Using the development of antilock braking systems for passenger cars as a case study, Johnson shows that the path to invention is neither linear nor top-down, but highly complicated and unpredictable. Individuals, corporations, university research centers, and government organizations informally coalesce around a design problem that is continually refined and redefined as paths of development are proposed and discarded, participants come and go, and information circulates within the knowledge community. Detours, dead ends, and failures feed back into the developmental process, so that the end design represents the convergence of multiple, diverse streams of knowledge.The development of antilock braking systems (ABS) provides an ideal case study for examining the process of engineering design because it presented an array of common difficulties faced by engineers in research and development. ABS did not develop predictably. Research and development took place in both the public and private sectors and involved individuals working in different disciplines, languages, institutions, and corporations. Johnson traces ABS development from its first patents in the 1930s to the successful 1978 market introduction of integrated ABS by Daimler and Bosch. She examines how a knowledge community first formed around understanding the phenomenon of skidding, before it turned its attention to building instruments to measure, model, and prevent cars’ wheels from locking up. While corporations’ accounts of ABS development often present a simple linear story, Hitting the Brakes describes the full social and cognitive complexity and context of engineering design.
