There are many ongoing debates within and about the subject of
animal welfare. This book distils some of the major themes of
current debate into one volume, edited by internationally known
names in the field of animal welfare. Each chapter is written by
one or more leading experts who discuss, in an even-handed way, a
provocative topic that will be of interest to anyone concerned with
animal welfare. Issues covered include tail docking, farm animal
production, neutering of feral cats and the need to conserve
habitats of native wild animals in the face of threats from
non-native species. Chapters address the different values and
priorities involved in dealing with these issues, including
scientific and more explicit ethical approaches. Each chapter ends
with questions for discussion that may help readers to engage with
these dilemmas.
This authoritative textbook provides an introduction and guide to
poultry behavior and welfare. It describes the origin and biology
of the various species of bird that are of agricultural importance,
as well as giving a succinct overview of their key behavior
patterns. There is careful discussion of the many factors that
influence their welfare, and detailed consideration of the ways in
which legislation and commercial interests interact in an attempt
to satisfy the many needs involved. The final chapters discuss
possible future developments within the subject. The book is in
part an update of a previous work, "Poultry Production Systems:
Behaviour, Management and Welfare" (CABI, 1992), completely
rewritten and with much new material added.

The National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2), was initiated
in 2001 to provide a national picture of the characteristics and
experiences of youth with disabilities, including their
self-representations of themselves, their schooling, their personal
relationships, and their hopes for the future. This book presents
findings drawn from the first time data was collected directly from
youth on these topics; they were ages 15 through 19 at the time
(2003). The large majority of information reported comes from
responses of youth with disabilities either to a telephone
interview or to a self-administered mail survey, which contained a
subset of key items from the telephone interview.
Written against the backdrop of increasing fines for health and
safety offences against companies and individuals, this guide
provides straightforward advice on how to avoid or deal with health
and safety prosecutions in a practical manner. The authors explain
the law surrounding health and safety prosecutions as detailed by
the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health
and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and analyse the practical
issues involved in such prosecutions.
