Review

"The authors have met their stated goal, which was to provide a quick reference source for investigators, technicians and animal caretakers charged with the care and/or use of rats in a research setting. In addition, the book would serve well as a study aid for veterinary trainees new to the field of comparative medicine. This book provides a wealth of rat-specific data in one well-indexed and inexpensive volume. It is clearly worth the investment for those who are part of the targeted audience." -Glen Otto in Contemporary Topics, November 1998
