Writing from an historical and sociological perspective, Joanna Swabe's work discusses such issues as:</p> <p>• animal domestication</p> <p>• the consequences of human exploitation of other animals, including links between human and animal disease</p> <p>• the rise of a veterinary regime, designed to protect humans and animals alike</p> <p>• implications of intensive farming practices, pet-keeping and recent biotechnological developments.<br> This account spans a period of some ten thousand years, and raises important questions about the increasing intensification of animal use for both animal and human health.</p>
