    "The Confessions of Saint Augustine" is an autobiographical work by St. Augustine of Hippo, consisting of 13 books written between AD 397 and 400. This seminal work outlines his sinful youth and his conversion to Christianity. It is widely seen as the first Western autobiography ever written, and it provides deep philosophical and theological insights into faith and morality. Augustine explores the nature of time, memory, and the inner self, and the narrative is as much a chronicle of his spiritual journey as it is a theological treatise.

    How and why did humans begin to treat sick and injured animals? And how did those practices, and the associated attitudes, evolve from prehistory to the present day? 
 
 
 
To answer these questions, Dr. Schott shares stories of twenty-two different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, examining the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed by these people and their colleagues. But at the heart of the tale lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear. 
 
 
 
James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth-century Manhattan. Along the way, we see every kind of person trying to heal every kind of creature. 
 
 
 
Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.
