When a national call went out for more veterinarians in the early 1970s, the seeds were sown for the Atlantic Veterinary College. But, as Marian Bruce illustrates in this lively and insightful history of Prince Edward Island's world-renowned veterinary school, it took nearly two decades of political wrangling and controversy to reach a deal to build the AVC on the Island. Bruce is a consummate storyteller with a journalist's keen sense that any story resides in people as much as in events. In Pets, Professors and Politicians, she introduces a colourful cast of veterinarians, teachers, students, administrators, technicians, researchers, and political figures ? and even a few memorable animals. The Atlantic Veterinary College has graduated over 900 skilled veterinarians and continues to carry out cutting-edge research in animal and human health. With more twists and turns than a suspense novel, the tale of its founding is a must-read for anyone interested in the politics of higher education in Canada.
