"Anthrozoology - It’s such a broad interdisciplinary field! No wonder this new edited book by Aubrey Fine and his associates has over 50 chapters: something for everyone. I love seeing chapters by pioneers like Erika Friedmann and Susan Cohen, but also new names writing on animal topics related to developmental disabilities, crises, popular culture, leisure, cinema, ecotourism, and, of course, wildlife. This book will give anthrozoology new prominence in disciplines where it has a significant role but is still unknown by many people."Lynette A. Hart, MA, PhD, Professor of Anthrozoology and Animal Behavior, University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine"If you are looking for a current and comprehensive resource on anthrozoology and human-animal interactions, this handbook is it! Chapters reflect the diverse and interdisciplinary field of anthrozoology, going beyond animal-assisted interventions to also address ethics, animal cognition and sentience, animal abuse, human-wildlife interactions, working and emotional support animals, and more. Authored by accomplished leaders in their content areas, this handbook will be a valuable resource for those interested in the field and more experienced researchers and practitioners."Sandra B. Barker, PhD, NCC, LPC, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry, EMDR Certified Therapist and Consultant, Founding Director and Senior Advisor, School of Medicine Center for Human-Animal Interaction, Virginia Commonwealth UniversityThe Routledge International Handbook of Human-Animal Interactions and Anthrozoology is a book many of us have been waiting for!

This book is by far, the most comprehensive array of diverse and thought-provoking literature on this topic, making this a landmark publishing and academic achievement for promoting the relationship between people and other animals."Philip Tedeschi, LCSW, Clinical Professor Institute for Human-Animal Connection, Affiliated Faculty and Director Emeritus, Institute for Animal Sentience and Protection "What a pleasant experience: reading this handbook on human-animal interactions and anthrozoology.
