Every year billions of animals, from housecats to racehorses to pythons, are treated by veterinarians. The use of veterinary science to treat the health of animals has a long history; for the past five centuries it has developed as our understanding of animals' fundamental biology, pathology, and pharmacology has grown. Rapid global changes expected in the twenty-first century will require the profession to respond proactively, embracing new challenges and opportunities. James Yeates, Chief Veterinary Officer of the RSPCA, introduces the field of veterinary science, covering the history of its scientific and clinical aspects from early practices to recent challenges such as the outbreak of BSE and antibiotic resistance, and considering the differences between human medicine and veterinary medicine. Analyzing the key roles played by diagnosis, treatment, and prevention with regard to the health of farm animals and pets, he relates this to wider aspects concerning public health, such as zoonoses (diseases that jump from animals to humans). Yeates also covers recent "One Health" approaches involving the health of both humans and animals, seen as synergistic, and discusses the challenges for the future of veterinary medicine, including the ethical dilemmas in balancing the interests of owners and animals when they do not coincide.

Fast and easy refund.
I purchased an air fryer and got a 3 year warranty on it from Asirion. The air fryer stopped working and I was expecting the warranty process to be complicated and didn’t have high hopes for getting a replacement. I was surprised though, not only was the website easy to navigate and user friendly, they responded immediately. I got a printable return postage receipt, dropped off the air fryer at a UPS store, and within a couple of days got a full refund in my Amazon account. Great fast service.

Be careful purchasing this.
We bought this for an ice-cream maker - they never sent the initial startup you bought this email. So I had to fight with them that yeah we bought it.
Then they classified it as an ice-maker - important for pictures later . Then we had bought the machine and insurance partially with gift cards not a big deal, right? - well, the machine cost $300ish but showed on the receipt total as $180ish - guess which amount they wanted to pay out for? Then they wanted pictures showing serial number and such on the machine. I sent them pictures of each side clearly showing no stickers. Take more pictures of the front and top because what you took wasn't good - MAYBE because you thought it was an ice-maker... Take a picture showing what doesn't work - it will spin and move, but the compressor broke so it won't get cold - NOT GETTING COLD is something I can't show... it was fun being told to take a video showing it not getting cold only to tell them yeah no I am not wasting my time doing that.
There was a lot of repetitive stuff but they did eventually pay out the correct amount. Would I buy it again? Yes. Is it as easy as they make it out to be? No.
Did I WANT to give this review? No, because I didn't want to leave a negative review. I am a very charming, nice, and personable guy that didn't want to be mean. Keep pestering me enough about leave a review about how great we are and you will get the review you probably did not want.
