Description
Introduction to Human-Animal Interaction focuses on the human dimension of interacting with other animals. This book introduces recent developments, theories, and debates in the relatively new research area of Human-Animal Interaction (HAI) and focuses on the social and life sciences aspect of these interactions.
"The book is a revelation: The authors have done an impressive job in bringing together all the main areas of actual contemporary human-animal interaction research."
Prof. Robert Mitchell, Department of Psychology, Eastern Kentucky University, USA
"Each chapter provides a really nice introductory text for key topics taught across a range of disciplines in HAI."
Prof. Carri Westgarth, Institute of Infection, Veterinary and Ecological Sciences, University of Liverpool, UK
