Dictionary of Zoo Biology and Animal Management

Dictionary of Zoo Biology and Animal Management is intended as a guide to the terminology used in a wide range of animal-related programmes of study, including agriculture, animal care, animal management, animal production, animal welfare, veterinary nursing, wildlife conservation, and zoo biology. In total, it contains over 5,300 entries.

The dictionary includes a wide range of terms used in the fields of veterinary science, physiology, and zoology. Students whose primary interests are in animal welfare or zoo biology also need to have some understanding of disease, how animal bodies function, and how animals are classified.

It also contains some legal terms and references to legal cases to help students understand how the protection, use, and conservation of animals are regulated by law. Some people, famous animals, literature, and films have influenced the way we think about and behave towards animals.

For this reason, the book includes references to important works about animals and famous animals who have starred in films or been the subject of scientific studies. It also includes short biographies of famous scientists and others who have studied animals or established conservation or animal welfare organisations.
