Animals, Health, and Society (eBook, ePUB)

Health Promotion, Harm Reduction, and Health Equity in a One Health World
Redaktion: Stephen, Craig

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This timely book reframes the historic narrative of people, animals and nature as risks to each other, to one where we think about health as a shared capacity. This new narrative promotes the positive contributions made to health across species and generations and addresses growing calls to shift from a reactive to proactive approach in One Health.
