“This book is a history of the science and policy behind Britain’s ongoing badger controversy. … The advantage of Dr Cassidy’s book is that she carefully peels back the layers and reveals the full complexity of a situation that seems to have little hope of immediate resolution. … Dr Cassidy’s style is admirably clear, jargon-free and without artifice.” (Peter J. Atkins, Agricultural History Review, Vol. 69 (1), 2021)
