I have been fortunate enough to contribute to several recent and up-coming books in the area of animal welfare science. I will start by listing a recent work from the Animal Welfare Institute that is available free both online and in paperback by request. I also contributed several articles to a recently published encyclopedia set. I am waiting for my complimentary copy of this one with considerable anticipation! See below for more details.

Making Lives Easier for Animals in Research Labs Discussions by the Laboratory Animal Refinement & Enrichment Forum

Edited by Vera Baumans, Casey Coke, Jennifer Green, Erik Moreau, David Morton, Emily Patterson-Kane, Annie Reinhardt, Viktor Reinhardt and Pascalle Van Loo

This book is a collection of electronic discussions that took place on the Laboratory Animal Refinement & Enrichment Forum (LAREF) between October 2002 and May 2007. The forum serves the international animal care and animal research community to promote animal welfare and improve scientific methodology by avoiding or minimizing stress and distress resulting from husbandry and handling practices.

Of more than 5,000 comments posted, approximately 3,000 were selected for this book because they have practical animal welfare relevance and are based on first-hand experiences about ways to improve the conditions under which animals are housed and handled in research facilities.

The following main topics are discussed: Basic Issues; Maladaptive Behaviors; Environmental Enrichment; Social Housing; Working With Animals; Extraneous Variables.

Free copies of the book can be requested per email from: viktorannie @ yahoo.com. Please include your mailing address. This book can also be accessed in full online.

Encyclopedia of Human-Animal Relationships [Four Volumes]: A Global Exploration of Our Connections with Animals (Hardcover)

Encyclopedia od Human Animal Relarionships cover

Edited by Marc Bekoff

Humans and animals live together on earth, but as we increasingly reshape ecosystems to accommodate larger populations, technology, and increased consumption, animals are greatly affected. The history of civilization shows that humans have used animals for food, clothing, transportation, making a living, and even companionship, as well as subjects for the arts, literature, and within religious beliefs. Renowned animal behaviorist Marc Bekoff and 300 experts from around the globe provide more than 350 essays that discuss such topics as animals and ecology; animals and global warming; animals as food; animals as pets; animals and diseases; animals in research and in education; animals providing assistance; and the influence of animals in art, religion and philosophy, literature, music, dance, and entertainment. Students and all those wanting a better understanding of the reciprocal connections and interdependence of organisms on the planet will benefit from this fascinating and instructive reference work. Bekoff and contributors ranging from scientists and researchers in other disciplines to teachers, writers, and artists along with those who work with animals in service, rescue, and training have provided engaging and thought-provoking entries ranging in length from 500 to more than 5,000 words. Each entry in the encyclopedia ends with recommended further resources, which may include books, articles, Web sites, and videos.
