We know that some of you prefer to hold our journal in your hands and so we’ve now introduced the option to buy a subscription to the SCAS journal in hard copy format. Previously (and remaining as an option) you could buy individual copies of current and back issues but now you also have an option to receive your future copies of the SCAS journal by post as a hard copy. This will be in the form of an annual subscription.
SCAS members continue to have free access to the electronic copy via the members only area.
The annual subscription buys 4 issues starting from the current issue and is available to purchase by Paypal subscription via our journal page, or you can send a cheque for the correct subscription amount (see below) made payable to Society for Companion Animal Studies.
Prices are: Annual subscription to SCAS journal hard copy by post:
Dispatched to UK destination: £30 per annum
Dispatched to EU destination: £40 per annum
Dispatched to destination outside the EU: £66 per annum
Please note that the summer journal 2014 will not be available for dispatch until approximately 1st July but is currently available to download from the members area.
If you have an interest in the human-animal bond and how pets can help children with autism then this free webinar from SCAS will be of interest to you.
Dr Marie-Jose Enders-Slegers, Professor of Anthrozoology at The Open University in the Netherlands, together with Professor Martens from the Maastricht University, is carrying out research into the emotions of pet animals and if pet ‘owners’ can recognize them.
Approximately one quarter of all people over retirement age own pets but SCAS research revealed that the majority of care homes and sheltered housing complexes in the UK do not have pet policies resulting in many older people having to part with their pets.
Have you read a good book lately that relates to the human-animal bond? We’d love to hear about it.
