Recenzii

From the reviews:
“In Understanding Animal Welfare, Eadie selects eight influential books in the animal protection movement, and discusses their influence under a standard format. … each of the chapters is dedicated to a book in chronological order of publication. … I recommend Understanding Animal Welfare: An Integrated Approach, and praise it for its holism and ambitious aim of weaving disparate fields and themes together.” (Steven P. McCulloch, Animal Welfare, Vol. 22 (2), May, 2013)
