In their presentation of these 13 chapters, Dunlop (emeritus, veterinary medicine, U. of Minnesota) and Malbert (Institute for Agriculture Research, France) hope to encourage veterinary students to think critically about the interactions between factors that contribute to dysfunctions in health. Discussion of pathophysiology is presented in terms of organ systems. Also discussed are the relationships between stress, behavior, and pathophysiology and problems of homeostatic and toxic disorders. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
