Advances in Nuclear Science and Technology Book

A great overview of some of the issues in animal welfare science. Rather than deal with issues of why we should treat animals in a particular way, Dawkins looks at the empirical issues as to how we decide when animals are suffering from their treatment. She evaluates a range of options, such as assessing physical health, checking physiological indicators of stress and making comparisons to wild behaviour. Her analyses of these methods are concise but thorough, identifying the key strengths and weaknesses of each. I'm now interested to find what more has been done in this area in the past 30 years.
