By Stephen J. Roberts
Veterinary Obstetrics and Genital Diseases, 3rd Edition has engendered in the author a sense of enormous humility and gratitude. Humility in the realization of the great efforts, expenditures, honesty, study and research of innumerable persons who have contributed to all aspects of this broad interdisciplinary subject of reproduction an animals and man. The number and breadth of the selected references reviewed by the author has been an enriching experience and attests to the willingness of those in this field to share and advance the accumulated and new knowledge. As one of my former professors remarked, โEverything I know has been built on research and knowledge of other persons.โ
