A History of the Development of Alternatives to Animals in Research and Testing

"Nobody is better placed to write a comprehensive history of the alternatives concept than Dr. Parascandola. He has the necessary expertise as a professional health historian and, having raised two children who are now animal advocates, he also has the motivation." —Andrew Rowan, President, WellBeing International, and former CEO, Humane Society International

"This book presents a fully developed picture of the development of the 3Rs and alternatives from both personal knowledge, interviews, and historical records. It will be a wonderful teaching tool, and it is a very good and interesting read." —Alan M. Goldberg, Founding Director (Emeritus), Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing, Johns Hopkins University

"John Parascandola has provided an expert and essential volume for anyone interested in the history of animal welfare in twentieth-century Britain and the United States. Parascandola's history is impeccable, his writing engaging, and with the book's focus on reducing and replacing animals in the laboratory, it is certainly the most important and compelling contribution to the history of animal welfare and experimentation in decades" —Susan E. Lederer, Ronald L. Numbers Professor of Medical History and Bioethics, University of Wisconsin
