Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Health and the Science of Healing by Barbara Natterson-Horowitz
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a fascinating overview from a vet turned medico about connections of human and animal health. There is the very interesting watershed point of West Nile Virus and the H1N1 story, but this is much more than an overview of some of the many zoonotic diseases - those diseases transmitted from animals to humans. Most of the book explores homologous behavior and disorders in animals from adolescent behavior problems, substance abuse, sexual crimes (rape, pedophilia), depression, eating disorders (including infectious obesity!), and more.
