General Pathology for Veterinary Nurses

A good understanding of pathology will turn a competent veterinary nurse into an outstanding one. Harriet Brooks. This is one of the first books on general pathology designed specifically for veterinary nurses and veterinary nursing students. Pathology underpins all you do as a veterinary nurse. Knowledge of the general pathological processes will give you a deeper understanding of every aspect of an animal’s health. Building on your prior knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, the book explains the pathological changes that occur in sick animals. It describes the various disease processes and shows you how to relate them to clinical presentation, diagnosis and prognosis, and treatment rationales. This book will give you the knowledge and confidence to develop your role within the veterinary team. Designed as a concise, easy to read textbook, it includes: Detailed illustrations to explain the science behind the pathological processes Summary boxes of key information to aid revisionA ‘test yourself’ section at the end of each chapter

Harriet Brooks (January 1, 1876 - April 17, 1933) was the first Canadian woman nuclear physicist. She is most famous for her research on nuclear transmutations and radioactivity. Ernest Rutherford, who guided her graduate work, regarded her as being next to Marie Curie in the calibre of her aptitude.

She was born in Exeter, Ontario on New Year's Day, 1876. She graduated with B.A. in mathematics and natural philosophy from McGill University in 1898.

She was the first graduate student of Ernest Rutherford (then professor at McGill University), under whom she worked immediately after graduating. With him she worked on Electricity and Magnetism for her Master's degree in 1901. She was the first ever woman at McGill to receive a Master's degree.

After her Master's again under Rutherford she also did a series of experiments to determine the nature of the radioactive emissions from thorium. These experiments served as the foundation for the development of nuclear science.

She was among the first persons to discover radon and to try to determine its atomic mass.

For a brief period she also worked under the supervision of Marie Curie.

In 1907 she married Frank Pitcher and left the field of physics since in those days it was mandatory in universities for any woman to resign from her job after getting married.

An obituary for Harriet Brooks was published by the New York Times on April 18, 1933, recording that she had died the previous day in Montreal at the age of 56, crediting her as the "Discoverer of the Recoil of Radioactive Atom." Brooks is considered one of the leading women of her time in the field of nuclear physics, second only to Marie Curie.
