Many of their \"ethnoveterinary\" practices offer viable alternatives to conventional Western-style veterinary medicine - especially where the latter is unavailable,\u003cbr\u003eunaffordable, unreliable, or inappropriate. This highly interdisciplinary and international volume provides a critico-analytic overview over the many facets and findings of ethnoveterinary research and development. From sociocultural, political-economic, and environmental as well as biomedical viewpoints, the book presents reviews and case studies of traditional veterinary knowledge and practice, along with historical perspectives, theoretical discussions and research methodologies. At a larger level,\u003cbr\u003ethe anthology exemplifies the many potential benefits, for people everywhere, of systematically studying and building upon such rich bodies of \"ethnoscience\" as that embodied in local\/traditional veterinary medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Practical Action Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032655872240,"sku":"9781853393266","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781853393266_p0.jpg?v=1763597360","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781853393266","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
