Rom Harre provides a fresh perspective on research, setting aside moral reflection to simply examine the history of how and why living creatures have been used for the purposes of discovery. From Gregor Mendel's use of pea plants to explore heredity, to Barry Marshall's used of himself as the experimental animal in his helicobacter experiments (he survived) and even the use of an imaginary cat in Schrodinger's famous thought experiment, the reader encounters a new perspective on scientific work. 650 0 $a Laboratory animals $x History. 650 0 $a Animal experimentation $x History. 650 0 $a Research $x History. 650 0 $a Science $x History. 650 0 $a Botany $x History. 650 7 $a Recherche $x Histoire. $2 ram 650 7 $a Sciences $x Histoire. $2 ram 650 7 $a ExpeÌrimentation animale $x histoire. $2 fmesh 650 7 $a Botanique $x Histoire. $2 ram 941 $a 4 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160824090435.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20100405101555.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20100120073657.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20090806113132.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4B83C17A6C0811DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
