Most Used Book
I am studying for a degree in Equine Science and I use this book all the time. It is the most used on my bookshelf for my assignments and I have also found it useful for refering to when revising or need something explained. It offers definitions which are detailed but easily understood. Definately worth its money

Excellent!!
Not only is this book useful as a dictionary, is also a great reference for quick additional pieces of information. I find myself refering to it often while I am doing a piece of work. One of the most useful Veterinary books I have purchased so far!

What a must have!!
I've had this dictionary since it was first published, and it has been WELL worth it and has been invaluable to me right through my biology a-levels to now being in my second year of a degree in animal management, it is never far from my side when I'm doing an assignment, and without it I'm lost, whether its to find proper definitions for a quote or to check something it is just sooo handy, both for my course and as a serious pet owner, trying to decipher some of the technical terms used in articles and textbooks. Overall, I can't fault it, and I can't see myself ever wanting to part with my copy!
