Has anyone read this book?

It's by Michael W. Fox, Elizabeth Hodgkins and Marion E. Smart.

I haven't, but it sounds like an interesting read.

Michael Fox is a vet that has a massage book about therapeutic touch. I've never read any of his other stuff.

I received the book as a gift and so far it is very factual and I'm having a hard time getting through it because I'm used to more entertaining reads however, it is full of the latest research and NRC guidelines. I like it so far except for the weird recipes at the back that I find kind of grain heavy. I'll try to write a formal review when I finish the book.
