Esta obra abarca los precedentes históricos de la escultura en vidrio y su evolución desde sus manifestaciones más remotas hasta la actualidad, sin límites culturales ni geográficos, así como las técnicas de ejecución y conservación como bienes del patrimonio. Este estudio es un punto de encuentro multi e interdisciplinar que aúna los aspectos históricos y tecnológicos del vidrio, como material escultórico, y su interacción con el medio ambiente, en lo que se refiere a su restauración y conservación. Este último aspecto está unido a las características de la obra de arte, además de a las propiedades intrínsecas del vidrio y a las que le confiere su procedimiento de conformado, la presencia de otros materiales y sus procesos de degradación, la calidad del entorno de conservación o exhibición, y la expectativa de intervenciones o restauraciones futuras.

With advancing technology, students are getting accustomed to evermore portable resources on their phones - pocketbook texts are therefore required to compete with this shift in approach. Where easy layouts assist with faster clinical reasoning, or ambulatory practice provides poor signal, printed text still out-competes digital technologies. Affordable and concise, this visually engaging concise textbook is easy to use as a revision aid and take on placement (veterinary EMS - Extra-mural studies). The spiralbound format allows it to lay flat when referred to in practice, adding another level of practical use. The emphasis will be on those things regularly available to general practitioners with minimal information of advanced techniques. Similar to the popular MiniVet guide, but for Equine: fills a gap for a concise, quick and easy practical reference for students in Equine practice. There’s a clear market for books that focus on best practices, protocols, and treatment management for equine pathologies and thus provide a direct clinical approach to cases and clinical reasoning. The book is clearly divided into sub-sections, i.e., etiology, differential diagnosis etc. This makes it simple to follow and useful to apply to cases. The high quantity of pictures and diagrams help understanding of each different condition. International readership Can be bought as a single text or as a package with other books in the Equine ConciseTextbook series Distills key information from 'Equine Clinical Medicine, Surgery and Reproduction 2E' which has previously been out of the student price range.
