Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up?Concerned with the dignity of animals and humans' responsibilities toward them, this book offers both sides of major issues regarding animal rights, including both theoretical matters and practical applications. The signed entries are alphabetically arranged and contain cross-references to other relevant topics. Each one is followed by a selected bibliography. Topics include "Animal Cognition," "Education and the Use of Animals," "Genetic Engineering," "Hunting," "Laboratory Animal Use," "Pain," "Pet Theft," "Reproductive Control," "Sympathy for Animals," and "Zoos." A chronology of historical events related to the use of animals and animal rights precedes the entries. Appendixes include a list of related organizations along with Internet URLs, addresses, and contact names and a comprehensive bibliography and index. A welcome addition to the literature on this increasingly important topic.?Dana McDougald, Cedar Shoals High School, Athens, GA

From Library Journal

Opening most appropriately with a foreword by Jane Goodall, this unique work offers about 170 essays by well-known names in the animal industry who represent many fields, among them psychology, philosophy, biology, ethology, sociology, anthropology, history, education, and law. The result is a welcome multidisciplinary approach that shows us the extensive roles nonhuman animals play in virtually all areas of our lives. The essays are well reasoned and often extensive; "Animal Cognition," for example, is followed by five additional essays, all penned by different contributors, with such titles as "Intelligence" and "Consciousness and Thinking." A chronology of historical events related to animal rights and animal welfare is included, as is an appendix that lists resources on animal welfare and humane education. This monumental work deserves a place in every reference collection.?Peggie Partello, Keene State Coll. Lib., NH
