"This book covers all aspects of primate care and management, in the laboratory and environment and zoos. It covers the welfare and ethics of primate captivitiy, housing, husbandry, environmental enrichment, nutritional requirements, breeding issues, primate diseases, transportation and quarantine procedures. This book would be of use to veterinarians and those who work with or who are involved in the care of captive primates." (CAB Abstracts, 2005)

"This book is a good source of reference for people working with primates or starting off a collection. There has been a lack of up-to-date concise books on this topic and the Handbook of Primate Husbandry and Welfare fills this niche." (Primate Eye, Official Journal of Primate Society of Great Britain, 2005)

"The book is a useful compendium of information on health, nutrition, housing, and management of the most commonly used primates in biomedical and behavioural research... it should be on the shelf of every animal facility that houses nonhuman primates" (International Journal of Primatology, April 2006)

"Thorough guide to the…care of laboratory and zoo-held monkeys…useful introduction into the mainly diverse and interconnected issues surrounding care and management of primates in captivity." (Journal of Wildlife Diseases)
