The Regulation of Animal Health and Welfare draws on the research
of scientists, lawyers, economists and political scientists to
address the current and future regulatory problems posed by the
issues of animal health and disease. Recent events such as the
outbreak of mad cow disease, concerns about bluetongue in sheep,
and the entry into the food chain of the offspring of cloned
cattle, have heightened awareness of the issues of animal disease
and welfare. This book critically appraises the existing regulatory
institutions and guiding principles of how best to maintain animal
health in the context of social change and a developing global
economy. Addressing considerations of sound science, the role of
risk management, and the allocation of responsibilities, it also
takes up the theoretical and practical challenges which here - and
elsewhere - attend the co-operation of scientists, social
scientists, lawyers and policy makers. Indeed, the collaboration of
scientists and social scientists in determined and regulatory
contexts such as that of animal disease is an issue of
ever-increasing importance. And this book will be of considerable
value to those with interests in this issue, as well as all those
concerned with the law and policy relating to animal health and
welfare
The Regulation of Animal Health and Welfare draws on the research

address the current and future regulatory problems posed by the

outbreak of mad cow disease, epidemics of foot and mouth disease,
concerns about bluetongue in sheep, and the entry into the food

of the issues of regulation in animal disease and welfare. This

With the spectacular developments in technology accompanying and
aiding scientific research over the past few decades, postgraduate
students are often encouraged to focus more on generating data than
to utilize their most sophisticated piece of equipment: their
mind.
Stop Working & Start Thinking, Second Edition aims to encourage
young researchers to think more clearly about their experiments,
from experimental design to data interpretation. This new edition
builds on the success of the first edition, with new material
throughout and a new chapter on measurement interpretation,
including an examination of cryptic assumptions.
This book is essential reading for postgraduates who wish to put
the mastery back into their M.Sc. and the philosophy back into
their PhDs.
Infectious disease accounts for more death and disability worldwide
than either noninfectious disease or injury. This book contains a
number of different quantitative approaches to understanding the
patterns of such diseases in populations, and the design of control
strategies to lessen their effect. The papers are written by
experts with varied mathematical expertise and involvement in
biological, medical and social sciences. The volume increases
interaction between specialties by describing research on many
infectious diseases that affect humans, including viral diseases,
such as measles and AIDS, and tropical parasitic infections.
Sections deal with problems relating to transmissible diseases with
long development times (such as AIDS); vaccination strategies; the
consequences of treatment interventions; the dynamics of immunity;
heterogeneity of populations; and prediction. On each topic, the
editors have chosen papers that bring together contrasting
approaches via the development of theoretical results, the use of
relevant knowledge from applied fields, and the analysis of data.
