Book on the history of the debate

Animal Research in Medicine:

100 Years of Politics, Protest and Progress

 

Centenay book coverThis 76-page paperback was published to mark the centenary in 2008 of the Research Defence Society, one of the forerunners of Understanding Animal Research.

Medical research with animals has helped to extend and improve the quality of life for millions of people while provoking fierce debate and - in the late 20th century - even violence. The Research Defence Society was at the centre of the debate since its foundation in 1908, leading the way for effective policing and legislation in the battle against extremism. This book documents its absorbing history, its mobilisation of the scientific community, and how it has helped researchers to talk freely about their work.

 

The book is available at £9.95 from Understanding Animal Research (cheque with order please) or from www.amazon.co.uk.
