Description
The Sacrifice provides a uniquely detailed account of the sociological context of animal experimentation. Drawing on historical material, media reports and professional debates, interviews with scientists and animal technicians, and ethnographic data from laboratory settings, the authors provide a rich analysis of the complex and changing role of the laboratory animal in the political and scientific culture of the US and the UK.
