The aim of this book is to collect a range of perspectives from biomedical research on animal stress and welfare (including human health and human stress), and to assess new approaches to conceptualizing and alleviating stress. Authorities from North America, Europe and Australi…
This book brings together a range of scientific perspectives from biomedical research on stress and welfare, and assesses new approaches to conceptualizing and alleviating stress. While much of the focus in on conventional farm animals, there is also consideration of fishes, lab…

Somewhere in Africa, more than a million years ago, a line of ape began to rear their young differently than their Great Ape ancestors. From this form of care came new ways of engaging and understanding each other. How such singular human capacities evolved, and how they have ke…

This book describes a powerful and flexible technique for the modeling of behavior, based on evolutionary principles. The technique employs a stochastic dynamic programming and permits the analysis of behavioral adaptations wherein organisms respond to changes in their environme…
Morality is often defined in opposition to the natural "instincts," or as a tool to keep those instincts in check. New findings in neuroscience, social psychology, animal behaviour, and anthropology have brought us back to the original Darwinian position that moral behaviour is …
