This book will serve as a valuable trail guide to those interested in the rough and varied terrain of this large, important subject. Each chapter provides an introduction to its topic and a short but focused literature review. Containing chapters from a number of disciplinary perspectives, the book
is comprised of an introductory philosophical discussion of the concept of animal welfare and its moral significance, a compendium of problems posed to animal welfare by current agricultural and scientific practices, discussion of the scientific assessment and measurement of animal welfare, and
examination of some possible ways of improving animal welfare (particularly in agriculture), and finally, and perhaps most importantly, two chapters that address the question of how such possibilities might be realized. --The Quarterly Review of Biology
An introduction to the concepts and literature of the field, weighted toward farm animals, but also encompassing issues germane to students, researchers, and practitioners in animal science, veterinary medicine, and applied zoology and psychology. The selected readings and critical commentary offer
a variety of perspectives on the philosophy, measurement, and solving practical problems. --Reference & Research Book News
