Dans les années cinquante, l'administration de la Haute-Volta (devenue le Burkina Faso) impulse une politique agricole résolument volontariste de relance de la production cotonnière, en s'appuyant sur la Compagnie française des textiles (CFDT). Vingt ans plus tard, les résultats sont déjà significatifs. Mais il faut encore attendre la fin des années soixante-dix pour que la production de coton augmente vraiment et que, parallèlement, la traction bovine se diffuse. À cette époque, tous les espoirs sont permis ; la Société burkinabé des fibres textiles (Sofitex) expérimente des engins de petite puissance, les tracteurs « Bouyer ». L'ouvrage présente la situation des paysans d'un village bwa de l'aire cotonnière (Boho-Kari), à la fin des années quatre-vingt et au début des années quatre-vingt-dix, qui ont adopté massivement la traction animale tandis que certains se sont lancés dans la nouvelle aventure du tracteur. Les outils mécaniques ouvrent des possibilités de mise en valeur de terres plus lourdes que celles travaillées à la houe. La compétition pour la terre est forte et le paysage agraire change, rapidement ; le coton et le maïs s'imposent au détriment des plantes cultivées autrefois. Dans la course à la terre, les chances ne sont pas les mêmes suivant que le paysan appartient à la communauté autochtone bwa, à celle des éleveurs peuls ou encore à celle des migrants mossis installés à la périphérie des villages.

Judge Your Practices Against This Benchmark Manual COST Action B-24 established four working groups to research and discuss issues relevant to laboratory animal science. These included the housing of animals, environmental needs, refinement of procedures, genetically modified animals, and cost-benefit analysis. Based on the groups’ findings, The COST Manual of Laboratory Animal Care and Use: Refinement, Reduction, and Research provides a consensual European view of best practices for individuals and institutions caring for and working with laboratory animals.

"Animals and Medicine: The Contribution of Animal Experiments to the Control of Disease offers a detailed, scholarly historical review of the critical role animal experiments have played in advancing medical knowledge. Laboratory animals have been essential to this progress, and the knowledge gained has saved countless lives--both human and animal. Unfortunately, those opposed to using animals in research have often employed doctored evidence to suggest that the practice has impeded medical progress. This volume presents the articles Jack Botting wrote for the Research Defence Society News from 1991 to 1996, papers which provided scientists with the information needed to rebut such claims. Collected, they can now reach a wider readership interested in understanding the part of animal experiments in the history of medicine--from the discovery of key vaccines to the advancement of research on a range of diseases, among them hypertension, kidney failure and cancer."--Publisher's website.
