InterNICHE

Now available on-line for free download

This comprehensive information resource on alternatives is a thoroughly researched, updated and enlarged 2nd edition of the 1997 Alternatives Book from InterNICHE. It details over 500 products in disciplines where harmful animal use is being replaced by modern teaching tools and approaches. The technological developments that have added depth, breadth and facility to learning, and the growing recognition that science and ethics are inseparable, are reflected in this ground-breaking publication.
