Zoobiquity

by Dr. Barbara N. Horowitz
Kathryn Bowers
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Engaging science writing that bravely approaches a new frontier in medical science and offers a whole new way of looking at the deep kinship between animals and human beings.
 
Zoobiquity: a species-spanning approach to medicine bringing doctors and veterinarians together to improve the health of all species and their habitats. In the tradition of Temple Grandin, Oliver Sacks, and Neil Shubin, this is a remarkable narrative science book arguing that animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and ultimately heal human patients. Through case studies of various species—human and animal kind alike—the authors reveal that a cross-species approach to medicine makes us not only better able to treat psychological and medical conditions but helps us understand our deep connection to other species with whom we share much more than just a planet.
 
This revelatory book reaches across many disciplines—evolution, anthropology, sociology, biology, cutting-edge medicine and zoology—providing fascinating insights into the connection between animals and humans and what animals can teach us about the human body and mind.
