Synopsis

From Guinea Pig to Computer Mouse fully lives up to its promise to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date collection of resources concerning curricular transformation (rather than mere curriculum development) and alternatives to the harmful use of animals in education. The four main sections (the philosophy of curricular transformation, case studies, alternatives file, and further resources) complement each other, not only to inform and empower the sympathetic reader, but also to challenge those influential power-bases which seek to defend the status quo and insist that hands-on dissection and vivisection are essential elements in biomedical education. I very much hope that this book will empower its readers of all kinds to succeed in accomplishing the curricular transformation in biomedical education which is so badly needed, for the benefit of science and humanity, as well as for the welfare of animals which are still so often seen as mere tools for use at our convenience - Prof. Michael Balls, PhD, Chairman of the Trustees, Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments (FRAME).
