Book Description
The discovery of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) has heightened interest in feline immunology, with FIV emerging as an animal model for HIV infection of man. Researchers in the AIDS field and veterinary researchers alike will find this compilation of state-of-the-art studies on the principal small animal model for AIDS essential reading. Willett and Jarrett provide a much needed overview of feline immunology and immunodeficiency.

Many aspects of FIV pathegenesis are also covered including viral tropism, the effects of infection on the immune system, genomic structure and variation, epitope mapping of viral proteins, FIV-induced CTL, and vaccination against FIV infection. Researchers in the AIDS field and veterinary researchers alike will find this essential reading: it is a compilation of state-of-the-art studies on the principal small animal model for AIDS.

Very useful information, but the setup is mediocre.......2003-02-08
On the whole, I will not comment on the software itself, as it is a great tool in general; anyone familiar with the print edition will also very find this edition useful.
However, I do wish to warn anyone who thinks that the setup of this program will be particularly easy. Do not be fooled into thinking that by buying a CD-rom you will get all of the software at once. Instead, the CD includes an internet software package called "AvantGo," which, after successful setup will have you download the software to install onto your handheld.
This part of the setup I found rather disappointing. Why bother packaging a CD when you will have the customer do is go online afterwards?
Customer service provided by the publisher is non-existent (I sent them a question, but never received a reply--it's been two weeks now).
Finally, on the back cover of the CD case, the description mentions that images could be installed onto your handheld. In my hands, this is not the case.
So, on the whole, I would give 5 stars to the information provided by the software (once correctly installed), but only 1 star for the packaging, ease of installation, and customer service I received . . . hence the "average" 3 star rating.

The most used book on my shelf.......2005-10-17
Whenever I encounter a new disease, or need to refresh my memory about one I haven't seen lately, I reach for this book first. I find it to be concise, informative, and useful. While other medical texts make for good fireside or bedtime reading, this one cuts to the chase, and is useful in the midst of a busy veterinary schedule.
I use this book as my "nerd book", jotting notes in the margins when I learn something new about a disease from reading journals. Overall I am quite impressed at how up-to-date and complete the information is vis-a-vis JAVMA, the Compendium for Continuing Education, etc. I also appreciate that this book comes out in new additions often enough to keep up with the rapid changes in veterinary medicine.
must be on a vets library.......2005-09-29
very helpful in learning details about diseases and drugs we use.Easy to use the book and easy to understand.Thank you for the opportunity for me to receive this book to Turkey.
Great Resource.......2004-01-27
I got this book a couple of years ago on the advice of my mentor. This book has really helped me out in school(esp. in my Problem-Based Learning classes). It is pretty easy to understand, is very concise, and it includes many commmon and uncommon diseases of small animals. However, not all information about specific diseases is included. This resource should just be used as a starting point. The formulary is useful, as is the section about diagnostic test results. I just wish they would come out with a 5-Minute Consult-Exotics Edition
Great user-friendly reference for vet students.......2001-05-23
This book is great when you just need the down and dirty on a disease, and don't want to wade through a 50-page description in the heavy-duty references. It was also very useful during second-year, when you're just trying your hand at figuring out the diseases, and need a little confirmation of your diagnosis and treatment plans. Or, when you're totally clueless and need help get started in the right direction. Fair warning, faculty usually won't accept it as 'reference' especially if you're trying to argue a point, but during a recent open-book final, I brought mine in anyway and there was practically a mob of other students rushing over to check out one thing or another.
5 Minute Veterinary Consult: Canine and Feline (CD-ROM for W.......2001-03-24
Tilley's 5 -Minute Veterinary Consult book has been an extremely valuable asset to my library. When the CD-Rom came out, it was even more useful in that immediate and current information can be retrieved much faster than picking up a book. It is faster since topics related to a case can be searched for and reviewed with a touch of your mouse. This information can be quickly printed and given to clients to further understand their pets diagnosed condition. This printed information alone is priceless! A client that has something in hand and can follow and confirm their veterinarian's diagnosis and treatment, helps establish the trust a client needs to have in their pets doctor.
I reach for my 5- Minute Vet Consult CD-rom more than any other resource in my library. It is very accurate and has a surprising amount of detail to assist in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of each topic. The drug search is a very helpful formulary for those quick reference needs. The most recent CD has a good number of cytology and radiographic images attached to the topics. These can be enlarged to see more closely the great detail.
In my opinion the 5-Minute Veterinary Consult CD-Rom was one of the best reference investments for my practice. It is definitely the most utilized reference I have. Time is money and this has saved me many steps and thus time and money. Every practice needs this reference without doubt!

Alison's adventures are a scream! .......2007-03-28
This is one of those books I just stumbled across and wasn't sure whether or not to pick it up. After reading just a few pages I was hooked. Alison's adventures in the vintage clothing trade are fearless, funny and totally addictive. Her shopping excursions are a scream -- even when she's hunting down replacement "barn doors" (back doors to her van that were stolen) in the most unlikely places. The author obviously enjoys life to the fullest and generously shares the realities of making a new life for herself far, far from her original course. Go Alison! And give us a sequel while you're at it.
Appreciate Vintage More..........2006-11-17
After reading this book, I look at vintage with a new eye. I loved reading about her adventures with modeling to running her own business. Couldn't put this book down and definetly recommend it to others!
Another okay read.......2006-10-30
Okay "Alligators, old Mink and new money." by Alison Houtte is one of those books that get the reader's attention by the title. This book tells the story of Alison Houtte a former model who opens a vintage shop, while it was cute it wasn't much more and only took me a day to read it.
Not what I expected...........2006-10-13
I loved the title of this book! While there is good information about vintage clothing, I feel there is too much emphasis on the author's personal life. I loved the stories about her family, but didn't care so much to read about her love life or the nuts and bolts of her modeling career. I had hoped for more of a primer on how to shop wisely for vintage, as it seems to be a wonderful way to save money.
vintage stories.......2006-08-17
a great adventure told in with a singular voice about a subject everyone with any fashion sense and even without a fashion sense should love. Beacause vintage is about the stories that come with the clothes, this is also a story told as if I'm sitting across the table of my good friend that dresses very cool.
What can I say, I love this book, just like I love that gaberdeen shirt I found in the back of some store on a sunday afternoon.
Book Description
Alligators, Old Mink & New Money is a celebration of the clothes that capture our memories and imaginations, that leave their indelible stamp on each of our lives. Alison Houtte—a former fashion model who runs the beloved Brooklyn, New York, boutique Hooti Couture—knows that every article of vintage clothing has a story behind it, and she uses these items as a springboard to explore such universal topics as relationships, self-image, the bond between mothers and daughters, and that elusive thing called style.
Whether you're a flea market veteran who savors the thrill of the hunt, a couture shopper with a Vogue budget, or are simply drawn to the de rigueur world of vintage, Alligators, Old Mink & New Money offers a shopping adventure—through auctions, estate sales, flea markets, and clothing racks all over the world—to be savored, and inspired by!
