Recenzje

"The aim of this book was to find more proper ways of searching for the scientific truth, to increase knowledge and thus to reduce incertitude to provide relevant and reliable valid and human basis for scientific policies and decisions which deeply affect the well-being of humans and the environment in which we live. The current book could be of interest to scientists as well as to students and teachers, but also for broader range of readers." --Veterinarska Stanica
