“Animals in Science provides a vital resource for science and biology teachers who value and encourage independent scholarship and critical thinking in their students. I wholeheartedly recommend this exemplary resource to science teachers. I just wish it had been part of my own experience of science at school.”

Professor Philip Armstrong

Postgraduate Co-ordinator (English) University of Canterbury

“Animals & Us offers students and teachers options for engaging with the curriculum by attending to issues that will seem most urgent and vital to young people now; questions of power, violence and justice; the quandaries of consumerism and globalisation; the challenges of animal rights and welfare, and of environmentalism; the impact of technological and scientific manipulation of organic nature.”
