Animals and Human Society
provides a solid, scientific, research-based background to advance understanding of how animals impact humans.
Animals have had profound effects on people from the earliest times, ranging from zoonotic diseases, to the global impact of livestock, poultry and fish production, to the influences of human-associated animals on the environment (on extinctions, air and water pollution, greenhouse gases, etc.
), to the importance of animals in human evolution and hunter -gatherer communities.
As a resource for both science and non-science, Animals and Human Society can be used as a text for courses in Animals and Human Society or Animal Science, or as supplemental material for Introduction to Animal Science.
It offers foundational background to those who may have little background in animal agriculture and have focused interest on companion animals and horses.
The work introduces livestock production (including poultry and aquaculture) but also includes coverage of companion and lab animals.
In addition, animal behavior and animal perception are covered.
Animals and Human Society is likewise an excellent resource for researchers, academics, or students newly entering a related field or coming from another discipline and needing foundational information, as well as interested laypersons looking to augment their knowledge on the many impacts of animals in human society.
