Review:

`many could benefit indirectly, and animal welfare could be significantly enhanced by the advice contained within this book ... this is a practical book, with advice ranging from determining first authorship on work to be performed before the job is accepted, to filing of references, to proof
correction marks used by journal editors ... This book should be compulsory reading for all new animal researchers.'
Greg Whelan, Laboratory Animals, 30, 1996
