Heal the Beasts chronicles the history of veterinary medicine with an abundance of bizarre, funny, surprising, and heartwarming anecdotes "Schott's animated account moves at a fast clip, is full of colorful anecdotes, and will delight animal lovers of all stripes." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review Sharing the stories of 22 different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, Dr. Schott examines the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed to treat all manner of creatures. From healing dogs and horses to gorillas and even dragons, at the heart lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear. James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth century Manhattan Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.Author: Philipp Schott

Simple and efficient
Color: Swift Grey, Size: 1 Pack, Style: USB Receiver
This is a dandy little item. Easy to use straight out of the box, No fancy bells and whistles.but why should a mouse try to replicate commands that are on the laptop?

It's a good working mouse but it's loud clicking and a little small.
Color: Swift Grey, Size: 1 Pack, Style: USB Receiver
I thought I was getting a quite clicking mouse but this is not it. I may have misunderstood the description or confused this mouse with another while researching. It's not a five star for me because it clicks loud and it's small and too easy to accidentally click one of the buttons when you don't want it clicked. The accidental clicking happened a lot and was becoming frustrating. As a working mouse, it does its job and it's reliable. Overall, I like the appearance of it and it feels nice and grips good. I think the price is reasonable for this product. I ended up getting a quite mouse to replace this one, but I am keeping it as a backup.

Very Fast
Color: Red, Size: 1 Pack, Style: USB Receiver
The Logitech M185 Wireless Mouse was exactly what I needed. This mouse works great and included a battery to get you started. No problems using it with my HP EliteBook laptop. I have to say, I was impressed with how fast I got the product. I don't think I could have driven to the store and back any faster. The service and price were worth it. Thanks again Amazon.
