When humans and animals clash there is often massive physical, economic, political and sociological damage. And they increasingly do â" as a result of creeping urbanisation, agriculture, climate change, war, political turbulence and economic migration.

Since the causes of human-animal conflict are complex and multifactorial, any attempt to understand and mitigate it must be holistic and multidisciplinary. When Humans and Animals Clash: The Science and Law of Human-Animal Conflict is just that â" a compendium of advice about how to identify the culprits, allocate blame and avoid wrongful allegations, address the causes, assess compensation and consider other forms of reparation, make legal and ethical judgments, and formulate policy. It draws on hard-won experience in many geographical and conceptual domains, including veterinary medicine and human medicine and pathology, law, and moral philosophy. It is bracingly practical, yet never loses sight of the big picture. This is the most comprehensive guide for all those confronted by human-animal conflict - practitioners of veterinary and human medicine, policy-makers, wildlife rangers, administrators and farmers.

There is a vast, sprawling, fast-spawning literature on human-animal conflict: here it all is, distilled.
