Description: Humane Professions is a history of the interplay of individuals in Britain, Germany, and the United States who defended the practice of animal experimentation from 1876, when the British Parliament passed the Cruelty to Animals Act, to 1914, when events in central Europe triggered the First World War. Boddice's book is a welcome addition to the literature of the history of physiology, experimental medicine, biomedical research, and—most of all—the antivivisection movement. [...]his laboratory at the university, launched in 1876, was the site of significant research that drew the ire of early antivivisectionists. [...]Martin trained some of the individuals who figure prominently in Boddice's story, such as Frederick Schiller Lee and William T. Sedgwick.
