""In this new, distinctive book, Michael Fox is covering One Health in an entirely comprehensive, easy-to-understand form. He is one of the most, if not the most, qualified person in the world to author a book on this collection of topics. One Health, an integrated, environmentally sound method for preserving health, is transforming the way the world is approaching healthcare on all levels and for all living species: humans, animals, plants and beyond. I am thrilled, as I know readers will be very pleased, that the author has made this major effort to write this tome, possibly his last. His writing style is outstanding and his topics riveting, making it difficult to put down! I believe this book will become a gamechanger to better understand how healthcare needs to evolve to assure a healthy planet for future generations."" Craig Carter, Professor & Director Veterinary Diagnostic Medicine, Departments of Veterinary Science and College of Public Health, USA ""Dr. Michael Fox clearly and succinctly lays out the solution to the most critical problems facing humanity, the planet, and the animals with whom we share it. At a time when reasons for optimism are rapidly disappearing, this empowering book restores the possibility of change."" Neal D.
