Few ethical issues create as much controversy as invasive experiments on animals. Some scientists claim they are essential for combating major human disease, or detecting human toxins. Others claim the contrary, backed by thousands of patients harmed by pharmaceuticals developed…
This comprehensive review of recent scientific evidence examines the contributions of animal experimentation to human healthcare and toxicity prediction, its necessity during life and health sciences education, its impacts on student attitudes toward animals, and the extent to w…

Now Elizabeth Hess's unforgettable biography is the inspiration for Project Nim, a riveting new documentary directed by James Marsh and produced by Simon Chinn, the Oscar-winning team known for Man on Wire. Hess, a consultant on the film, says, "Getting a call from James Marsh a…
Could a chimpanzee raised from infancy by a human family bridge the gap between species--and change the way we think about the boundaries between animal and human? Here is the strange and moving account of an experiment intended to answer these questions, and of the chimp who wa…
New high throughput techniques in neuroscience and psychiatry have enhanced the development of experimental, customizable animal models that are predictive of human neuropsychiatric pathology and give vital insights on the mechanisms and pathways involved. In Psychiatric Disorde…
"This book examines in unprecedented detail the entire history of animal atmospheric and space flights, from balloon ascents and ballistic journeys atop notoriously unreliable rockets to trips around the Moon and, more recently, aboard numerous space shuttles and space stations.…
