Description

Coverage includes the main theories and why we needed them; practical advice for how to assess animal welfare; illustrative examples of different species and the importance of their interactions; and the stresses and strains experienced across an increasingly diverse workforce. Foundational knowledge is combined with real-world examples and recent advances to communicate the content and spirit of this unique field.
This accessible text is designed to support tertiary animal welfare curricula but is also relevant to the study of human-animal interactions, anthropology, and related fields. It provides a jumping-off point for many areas of knowledge and application for anyone interested in how animal welfare and science intersect. Animal Welfare Science: An Interdisciplinary Guide was created to provide an informational grounding that fosters competency, credibility, and the confidence to engage with peers across the animal welfare space. It also provides an overview of the career landscape with practical advice about the challenges and pressure points that you may encounter. Along with copious color illustrations, bullet points, thought experiments, tables, and links to video and other online resources aid accessibility.

Persons
Tina Rich is a generalist scientist, which is a rare and adaptive thing in today's largely specialist world. After obtaining a PhD in Immunology from Birkbeck College (University of London), she took postdoctoral posts at the Brain Tumor Research Center (UCSF, San Francisco), the Laboratoire d'lmmunogenetique Moleculaire (Institut des Cordeliers, Paris), the Pathology Department of the University of Cambridge (UK), and won tenure at the University of Glasgow, where she was recruited to the Veterinary Medicine's Institute of Comparative Medicine (ICM), supported by an RCUK fellowship. At the latter university, Tina's involvement in the ICM began an ongoing interest in nonhuman animal health and welfare. Since then she has worked as a writer and editor, paralegal, and strategic contributor to nonprofit organizations who have a focus on the welfare of the environment and animals. At this stage of her globe-trotting, Tina lives in New Jersey with two dogs and two cats, all of whom clearly communicate their welfare wants and needs.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
