In A History of the Development of Alternatives to Animals in Research and Testing, the first book-length study of the subject, John Parascandola traces the history of the concept of alternatives to the use of animals in research and testing in Britain and the United States from its beginnings until it had become firmly established in the scientific and animal protection communities by the end of the 1980s. This account of the history of alternatives is set within the context of developments within science, animal welfare, and politics. The book covers the key role played by animal welfare advocates in promoting alternatives, the initial resistance to alternatives on the part of many in the scientific community, the opportunity provided by alternatives for compromise and cooperation between these two groups, and the dominance of the "Three Rs"-reduction, refinement, and replacement"--Provided by publisher.New directions in the human-animal bondAlternative toxicity testingHistoryLaboratory animalsAlternative toxicity testingHistory.Laboratory animals.615.9/07Parascandola John1745740MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910872501403321A History of the Development of Alternatives to Animals in Research and Testing4177115UNINA
