Description
This - the introductory volume to the World Animal Science series - is concerned with the wider aspects of world animal production, namely, the archaeological and historical aspects, the philosophical aspects, and the place of animal production in the world today. The volume provides a thorough review of the background and general concerns of modern animal production, and the lists of references accompanying the chapters are a useful guide for any reader wishing to pursue a specific topic in greater detail. The breadth of content and the authoritative reviews of the more general questions of importance to world animal science, give this multidisciplinary volume a wide-ranging appeal.
