One Health for Veterinary Nurses and Technicians: An Introduction
by Helen Ballantyne Emi Barker Paula Boyden Hayley Burdge Kirsty Cavill Marta Costa Carla Finzel Joanna Hockenhull Nicola Lakeman Robyn Lowe Ellie WestThe One Health concept recognizes that the health of humans, animals and the environment are interlinked, and that maintaining optimal health for all is dependent on a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach at a local, national and global level. This book provides information and guidance for veterinary nurses in understanding both the scope of this concept and their role within it. Beginning with an overview of the global issues faced, One Health for Veterinary Nurses and Technicians focuses on providing an insight into how One Health can be applied within a veterinary practice and in the local community. Translating this important concept and making it relevant for veterinary nurses and their clients, this book: - Covers both communicable and non-communicable disease, as well as public health, climate change, sustainability and the importance of the human-animal bond. - Includes case studies to help to translate theory into practice. - Provides questions to help promote discussion and implement change. Reviewing the interrelations between humans, animals and their environment, this book is an approachable and useable introduction to One Health and is suitable for veterinary nurses and students in the clinical and non-clinical environment One Health for Veterinary Nurses and Technicians has been written by contributors based within the United Kingdom. However, the content is applicable to those working internationally within a veterinary environment and will also be of interest to other allied healthcare professionals.

Retaining its interdisciplinary focus which combines theory with practice, this new edition illustrates the contribution of One Health collaborations to real-world issues such as sanitation, economics, food security and vaccination programmes. It includes more non-infectious disease issues and climate change discussion alongside revised case studies and expanded methodology chapters to draw out implications for practice. Promoting an action-based, solutions-oriented approach, One Health: The Theory and Practice of Integrated Health Approaches highlights the lessons learned for both human and animal health professionals and students.

In this book, the origins of the concept are examined and practical content on methodological tools, data gathering, monitoring techniques, study designs, and mathematical models is included. Zoonotic diseases, with discussions of diseases of wildlife, farm animals, domestic pets and humans, and real-world issues such as sanitation, economics, food security and evaluating the success of vaccination programmes are covered in detail. Discussing how to put policy into practice, and with case studies throughout, this book combines research and practice in one broad-ranging volume.
One Health: Veterinary, Ethical, and Environmental Perspectives (CRC One Health One Welfare)
by Michael W. FoxThis collection of reflective, critical, philosophical, and practical chapters represents the author’s 60 years as a veterinarian, ethologist, and bioethicist. The rising incidence of zoonotic diseases from farmed animals and wildlife in the expanding human population and so-called reverse zoonoses where humans are infecting other species are existential concerns. These concerns are linked with anthropogenic climate change and our impact on ecosystems which threaten biodiversity and the health and future of Homo sapiens and many other species.These interconnected issues are examined in this book, broadening the scope and agenda of what is currently more narrowly practiced as preventive medicine. The author calls for greater emphasis on holistic preventive health-care maintenance in response to the escalating costs of human and companion animal health problems, the welfare of factory farmed animals, and endangered status of many wild species.Our species now faces a complex existential crisis that must be addressed in an interdisciplinary way, because there are multiple contributing factors; factors that call for the insights of science and bioethics. Fearlessly tackling contentious issues and 'wicked problems,' Dr Michael W. Fox offers an integrated perspective of what One Health looks like on the ground.

One Hundred Ways for a Dog to Train Its Human
by Simon WhaleyOn days out to the beach, always be the first in the family to get out of the car, onto the beach and into the sea. Always be the last in the family to get out of the sea, onto the beach and into the car. Remember to shake excess sea water from your fur once you are inside the car. Humans may refrain from passing you food to test. To them, a piece of salmon, followed by Liquorice Allsorts, a chocolate cake, and a selection of vegetables is a foul combination. Humans believe meals should be categorised into three sections. A starter, a main course and a sweet. Disavow them of this. Food is food is food. Always make sure you have more energy at the end of a walk, than you did at the beginning. Believe me, humans love the futility of taking you for a walk to tire you out.

One Hundred and Four Horses: A Memoir of Farm and Family, Africa and Exile
by Mandy RetzlaffThe memoir One Hundred and Four Horses is “an incredible story of a family that decided the lives of the animals they loved was worth risking their own.”*Pat and Mandy Retzlaff enjoyed a hard but satisfying farming life in Zimbabwe. After their children, the couple’s true pride and joy were their horses. But in early 2001, their lives were thrown into turmoil when armed members of President Robert Mugabe’s War Veterans’ Association began violently reclaiming farmlands owned by white Zimbabweans. Under the threat of death, they were forced to flee.As families across the country abandoned their land, they left behind dozens of horses. Devoted animal lovers, Pat and Mandy—virtually homeless themselves—vowed to save these beautiful animals, risking their lives to bring them to safety: Shere Khan, the queen of the herd; Tequila, the escape artist forever trying to walk back to his original home; Grey, the silver gelding and leader; Princess, the temperamental mare; and the numerous others they rescued along the way.One Hundred and Four Horses recounts their unforgettable journey and the remarkable horses they protected. It is a love story and an epic tale of survival and unbreakable bonds—those that hold us to land and family, but also those between man and the most majestic of animals, the horse.“A breathless adventure . . . You will mourn and celebrate with [Retzlaff] at every step along the way.” —*New York Times bestselling author Conor Grennan“A compelling, touching and sometimes grisly account, and to read it is to understand in a new way the power of the horse-human bond.” —Lawrence Scanlan, author of Wild About Horses
One Iguana, Two Iguanas: A Story Of Accident, Natural Selection, And Evolution (How Nature Works)
by Sneed B. Collard IIIKIRKUS STARRED REVIEW A much-needed contribution to the children’s literature about evolution Natural selection and speciation are all but ignored in children’s nonfiction. To help address this glaring deficiency, award-winning children’s science writer Sneed Collard traveled to the Galapagos Islands to see for himself, where Charles Darwin saw, how new species form. The result is this fascinating story of two species of iguana, one land-based and one marine, both of which developed from a single ancestor that reached the islands millions of years ago. The animals evolved in different directions while living within sight of one another. How is that possible? Collard uses the iguanas to explore Charles Darwin’s great discovery.

One Last Time
by William J. Buchanan[from the back cover] "I stood at the foot of my father's bed, gazing at his ashen face, my mind a jumble of emotions. Diablo, the devil steer, had gored him almost to death. And my father wasn't the first. For years, angry voices on the pueblo had called for Diablo to be dragged into the plaza at the end of a rope. Many had tried. All had failed. I would not fail. I owed it to my father to even the score. Like war chiefs planning a battle, my friend Steve and I knelt in the corral and drew tactics in the dirt. Steve, on his father's prized golden stallion, would rope Diablo and hold him. I would come from the rear and snag his hind legs. Visions of glory blurred any doubts about victory. But nothing could have prepared us for the moment we faced two thousand pounds of enraged bull... or the bloody terror that followed..."

One Maine Christmas Eve
by Douglas CoffinIt's Christmas Eve in Maine, and Miss Moody and her boarders Millie and Emery--as well as Miss Moody's pup Smittens--are all tucked into bed when out in the barnyard there arises such a clatter.It turns out that Santa has been grounded by sick reindeer, and Christmas hangs in the balance for girls and boys all over the world.

One Medicine: How understanding animals can save our lives
by Dr Matt MorganIt all started with a Hob Nob. As Dr Matt Morgan, an intensive care consultant, examined a patient who had suffered a cardiac arrest after inhaling some biscuit crumbs, he saw a flock of birds fly past the window. They must inhale objects all the time when flying, how do they survive? he thought to himself. This began an investigation that spanned continents, species and millennia. For animal science has so much to teach us about human medicine. While some of the overlaps and parallels are obvious – we know how much DNA we share with primates, the first pig heart has been transplanted into a human – there is so much more that we have learnt from the animal world. For example, studying kangaroos, in particular the female&’s three vaginas, has improved in-vitro fertilisation success rates. Watching how a giraffe breathes can help save the life of someone struggling with asthma. Investigating why birds that live in the frozen Arctic circle don&’t freeze to death led to advances with treating hypothermia. Getting a ECG on the 150kg heart of a humpback whale was instrumental to keeping patients with cardiac failure living longer. We owe animals so much, it&’s time to focus on examining how they live and what we still have to learn from them. Better shared understanding of how our species coexists with millions of others can lead to untold medical advances, help both humans and animals and improve the world for all creatures from single-celled bacteria to a 30,000 kg whale. Who knows, maybe a kiss from a frog will save your life?

One More Warbler: A Life with Birds
by Victor Emanuel S Kirk WalshOne of America’s foremost birders recounts his birding adventures as well as his friendships with numerous luminaries.Victor Emanuel is widely considered one of America’s leading birders. He has observed more than six thousand species during travels that have taken him to every continent. He founded the largest company in the world specializing in birding tours and one of the most respected ones in ecotourism. Emanuel has received some of birding’s highest honors, including the Roger Tory Peterson Award from the American Birding Association and the Arthur A. Allen Award from the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. He also started the first birding camps for young people, which he considers one of his greatest achievements.In One More Warbler, Emanuel recalls a lifetime of birding adventures—from his childhood sighting of a male Cardinal that ignited his passion for birds to a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Asia to observe all eight species of cranes of that continent. He tells fascinating stories of meeting his mentors who taught him about birds, nature, and conservation, and later, his close circle of friends—Ted Parker, Peter Matthiessen, George Plimpton, Roger Tory Peterson, and others—who he frequently birded and traveled with around the world. Emanuel writes about the sighting of an Eskimo Curlew, thought to be extinct, on Galveston Island; setting an all-time national record during the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count; attempting to see the Imperial Woodpecker in northwestern Mexico; and birding on the far-flung island of Attu on the Aleutian chain. Over the years, Emanuel became a dedicated mentor himself, teaching hundreds of young people the joys and enrichment of birding. “Birds changed my life,” says Emanuel, and his stories make clear how a deep connection to the natural world can change everyone’s life.“Whether he is recounting his experiences with raptors in Turkey, rose-ringed parakeets in India, or black-and-white owls in Panama, Emanuel’s love of the natural world is always on display. A charming narrative for avid birders and armchair nature lovers, sure to inspire at least a few flights of fancy.” —Kirkus Reviews“Victor Emanuel is a remarkable man who found his mentors in birding and went on to become a leader in that community for the past fifty years. In One More Warbler, Victor shares his wide-ranging adventures across the globe, including the story of his enormously influential ecotourism company, and the reasons why he become a mentor himself to whole generations of young ornithologists. It’s a fascinating read.” —Kenn Kaufman, author of Kingbird Highway“This book is classic Victor: a tapestry of anecdotes, adventures, philosophical musings, and tributes to people, all woven together by glowing words of admiration for the rich diversity of birds that grace our lives, and define his.” —John Fitzpatrick, Director, Cornell Lab of Ornithology
