註釋"The story of the Atlantic Veterinary College goes back to the early 1970s, when veterinary staffing forecasts called for more veterinarians, and more capacity to train them. But how to address that need - and, more importantly, where - turned into nearly two decades of wrangling, controversy, and negotiations among federal and provincial politicians, government officials, and academics. Finally, on June 3, 1983, the deal to build the Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island was signed." "With a cast of colourful characters featuring the Hon. Eugene Whelan, federal minister of Agriculture, and several Atlantic premiers, including PEI's Alex Campbell and Jim Lee, Nova Scotia's John Buchanan, and New Brunswick's Richard Hatfield, Pets, Professors, and Politicians tells the story of the AVC, from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Full of stories and photos of people - and, of course, animals - this modern-day David and Goliath story is sure to inform, and entertain."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
