The Art Of Living Long Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the earliest written book on the benefits of calorie restiction I have found. The author's observations and benefits of his personal lifestyle correlate with recent scientific fidnings which include enhanced resistance to disease, increased stress resistance, increased lifespan, and increased function into old age. However, the reader should be advised by a physician and I recommend reading a study in Spain by Valejo (PubMed) as well as literature by Masaro (serarch Amazon or PubMed) and DK Ingram (PubMed) on the effects of dietary/calorie restriction. - Bruce Jones, Scientific Researcher and Medical Student (2005)

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

What Animals Want: Expertise and Advocacy in Laboratory Animal Welfare Policy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I loved this book. I have always been sympathetic to arguments made by the animal rights community about the plight of animals in laboratories. I've also always believed that the work scientists do in those laboratories makes long, healthy, human lives possible. I've never before known what to believe about what kinds of research scientists really need to use animals for, and what kinds of welfare concerns scientists actually heed. The arguments on this topic generate lots of heat and little light.
Until this book. Carbone is a veterinarian who has made a career taking care of animals in laboratories and fighting for their welfare. He does this because he thinks scientific research is important, but he also cares deeply about the animals used by the scientists. In this book, he straddles the "radical middle" on the topic. He argues that we can figure out what animals want, and not necessarily by listening to what scientific studies of pain and distress tell us they want. I found myself writing in the margins on every page, because the arguments are interesting and thought provoking all the way through. I'd highly recommend this for anyone interested in animal rights, animal research, or medical progress.
