Editorial Reviews
“I am pleased that Dr. Silverman has put out a 2nd edition. I felt while reading Managing the Laboratory Animal Facility that he was talking directly to me—in his folksy style of presentation—about any one of the facility issues I’ve faced over the years. The not-so-hypothetical Great Eastern University from his Lab Animal column is again used to help us address those management scenarios that we see each and every day. For myself, I will assign reading the sections on per diem in my lab animal management class to help my students better understand this oft times difficult topic. As well, Jerry has offered many insights and approaches to help both the new and experienced lab animal manager and his latest efforts complement the Suckow, Douglas, and Weichbrod book on lab animal management.”

As a result, there is a rich mixture of the experience of a seasoned professional and the theoretical framework used by schools of management … . I recommend this book to managers and laboratory animal specialists at any stage of their careers.”
