The book “Small Animal Internal Medicine” written by Richard W. Nelson and C. Guillermo Couto, one of the important sources of veterinary medicine education and published by Elsevier, one of the most respected medical publishing houses of the world, was translated into Turkish with contributions of Near East University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Dean Prof. Dr. Deniz Seyrek İntaş with the name “Small Animal Internal Diseases”. The book was also made available to students at the Near East University Grand Library.

The 1,600-page book “Small Animal Internal Medicine”, which is one of the main sources in veterinary medicine, was translated into Turkish by Günhan Arel Saydam, remaining faithful to its original design, under the editorship of Prof. Dr. DenizSeyrek İntaş, with the support of Assist. Prof. Dr. M. Ege İnce. Emphasizing that the book is one of the bedside books for veterinarians as well as students and academics, Prof. Dr. Deniz Seyrek İntaş said, “The book, which has a fluent and easy-to-read language and rich visuals, provides students with easy learning opportunities. It draws a lot of attention from academicians and physicians as it explains all subjects in the field of Internal Diseases in detail, from diagnosis to treatment.”

Turkish resources need to increase!
Emphasizing that English has become the universal language of science, Prof. Dr. Deniz Seyrek İntaş said that for this reason, the main sources containing the most up-to-date information in many fields are also in English. Emphasizing the importance of bringing these resources into Turkish, Prof. Dr. Seyrek İntaş said, “We are doing these studies to increase Turkish resources. When you go abroad, in a library, besides the English books, there are also narrations translated into the mother tongue. I am happy to have translated this important work of veterinary medicine into Turkish.”
