The author has produced a wide-ranging and up-to-date overview of how and why animals are used in research, and the ethical and welfare issues that this raises. Our current state of knowledge is clearly explained, together with some excellent examples of the application of the 3Rs to animal research. The author has dealt with a difficult and controversial topic in a balanced manner that will encourage informed debate. This book should be read by all those involved in the use of animals in research and by anyone who has interests or concerns as to how this type of research is conducted
