Veterinary Science In The Tropics 1969-2009

Abstract

This book, edited by Emeritus Professor Rod Campbell and written by former and present members of staff, records the evolution of the James Cook University School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences, from its establishment as the Graduate Department of Tropical Veterinary Science to its present role in the undergraduate veterinary science and other health-related courses. From a base of four scientists in 1971, the School expanded to develop graduate and undergraduate teaching and an increasingly wide research portfolio in Australia and internationally. While rich in science, there are accounts of daily life in the laboratory, field work and international collaborations. A large bibliography records the topics and trends of research and the people involved, reflecting many new strands of technology harnessed in the past forty years.
