Reviews

'well-argued. brilliantly researched and thoroughly revisionist.' Professor Steven King, Director of the Centre for Health, Medicine and Society, Oxford Brookes University 'an important contribution to the history of animal disease and the reactions to it, official and popular, but should also finda wider readership among those with interests in animal rights; the history of the English countryside; the history of environmentalism; and the history of the British civil service.' Professor John Stewart, Department of History, Oxford Brookes University
