Do animals have legal rights? This pioneering book tells readers
everything they need to know about animal rights law. Using
straightforward examples from over 30 legal systems from both the
civil and common law traditions, and based on popular courses run
by the authors at the Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights, the book
takes the reader from the earliest anti-cruelty laws to modern
animal welfare laws, to recent attempts to grant basic rights and
personhood to animals. To help readers understand this legal
evolution, it explains the ethics, legal theory, and social issues
behind animal rights and connected topics such as property,
subjecthood, dignity, and human rights. The book's companion
website (bloomsbury.pub/animal-rights-law) provides access to
briefs on the latest developments in this fast-changing area, and
gives readers the tools to investigate their own legal systems with
a list of key references to the latest cases, legislation, and
jurisdiction-specific bibliographic references. Rich in exercises
and study aids, this easy-to-use introduction is a prime resource
for students from all disciplines and for anyone else who wants to
understand how animals are protected by the law.

The complexity of modern tasks is rising along with the level of
technology. Two techniques commonly used to deal with complexity
are collaboration and information visualization. Recently, computer
networks have arisen as a powerful means of collaboration, and many
new technologies are being developed to better utilize them. Among
the newer, more promising of these technologies is Sun
Microsystems' JavaSpaces," a high-level network programming API.
This thesis describes a tool for developing collaborative
visualization software using JavaSpaces--an application framework
and accompanying toolkit. In addition to a detailed description of
the framework, the thesis also describes an application implemented
using the framework, discusses the benefits of development under
the framework, evaluates the performance of JavaSpaces in the
context of the framework, and addresses the issue of network
bandwidth limitations, which are a concern when developing
visualizations that deal with large data sets.
