Review
"Full of fascinating stories. . . . I was beguiled.” —Atul Gawande, M.D., bestselling author of Complications“Provocative. . . . It’s exciting to watch a doctor discovering just how much the animal kingdom has to teach her.” —Carl Zimmer, The Daily Beast “Illuminating . . . [and] difficult to put down. . . . Reading Zoobiquity gave this reader a totally new perspective on his furred and feathered neighbors.” —Dennis Rosen, The Boston Globe“[A] pacy, readable, and entertaining manifesto for a zoobiquitous approach to health and wellbeing, to be welcomed by vets and other human animals.”—The Observer (London)“Not only [have the authors] presented a very credible argument for collaboration between disciplines, but she has done so in a most entertaining and beautifully written manner.” —New York Journal of Books“[The authors] make a convincing case. . . . You will find the argument hard to resist. Plus you will have some killer dinner party gems.” —New Scientist“Tremendously interesting and beautifully written. . . . At once entertaining and respectful of the reader’s intelligence.” —Winnipeg Free Press“Profoundly illuminating. . . . As clarion and perception-altering as works by Oliver Sacks, Michael Pollan, and E. O. Wilson.” —Booklist (starred review)“The book features countless intriguing anecdotes. . . . After finishing, you’re guaranteed to never look at your dog, cat, or any other animal the same way again.” —Publishers Weekly“The authors provide solid evidence that humans are not as far removed from the rest of the natural world as we might have thought. Engaging [and] useful.” —Kirkus Reviews“This beautifully written book is loaded with fascinating material that makes a compelling case for viewing human health and disease comparatively. We have more to learn from other species than I had ever suspected. Gripping and memorably engaging, it belongs in the hands of anyone with an ounce of curiosity about the biological sources of the human condition.” —Stephen Stearns, Ph.D., Edward P. Bass Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University “Fascinating reading about the similarities in both the physiology and behavior of people and animals.” —Temple Grandin, Ph.D., author of Animals Make Us Human“The connections we share with the rest of life on our planet are a source of beauty and, in Natterson-Horowitz and Bowers’ luminous new account, the inspiration for an emerging and powerful approach to human health.” —Neil Shubin, paleontologist and author of Your Inner Fish“This important book shatters barriers between disciplines and professions. . . . A ‘must read’ for students interested in animals and evolution who are considering careers as biologists, ethologists, physicians, veterinarians, nurses, dentists, psychotherapists, nutritionists and many others.” —Marc Bekoff, author of Minding Animals and The Emotional Lives of Animals, and co-founder with Jane Goodall of Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

Although this book is a broad overlook on the scope of One Health, a lot of the discussions are based around assumptions. Humans can be more complex in terms of social behavior, and topics such as eating disorders don't have such a simple solution or reason that can sometimes be seen in animals. Its an interesting look at an interspecies connection, but only a portion of it is medically sound to accept said connections. The relationship between animals and humans is also only one sided, and only about how *humans* can benefit from *animals*- contradicting the author's purpose for writing the book at all.
I wrote once 'Sick? Go to a Vet' because veterinarians take a holistic approach, don't get bogged in dialogue with patients but attend to symptoms, care less for fancy disease names and more for practical cures, and, after all, physicians are limited in treating only one species of animals. In 2007 in East Lansing, MI, at my alma mater MSU, the respective presidents of the American Medical Association (AMA) and American Veterinary Association (AVMA) met and laid out a campaign to raise physician & public awareness of the very thin line between human and animal medicine. It didn’t reach much further than the city limits. It's a fact that veterinarians as part of continuing education study human cases but the opposite is rarely true. Today I read an exciting exception in Discover Magazine’s ‘Book of the Year’ Zoobiquity: The Astonishing Connection Between Human and Animal Health by Barbara Natterson-HorowitzThe author is a cardiologist and psychiatrist who moonlights at zoos. She noted over the years the similarities among species including us two-legged ones and has collected oddball case histories. Some are a bit detailed for the layman since, after all, it’s written by a physician, however the strange parallels are worth the read. The second chapter on 'Feint of Heart' draws on about robins and generals fainting in the heat of battle, the third chapter is 'Jews, Jaguars & Jurassic Park', and in the fourth ‘Roar-gasm’ we learn that stallions at stud farms are allowed three stands to get the job done and then they're kicked out, just like the johns facing alarm clocks on Times Square. Ensuing chapters on 'Fat Planet' and so on offer hundreds if not a thousand examples of how human and animal health relate. We all get diseases, and for most of the ‘civilization diseases’ that comprise 80% of a physician’s practice the author intimates that it’s indeed better to go see a vet. I give this book four 'stars' to a physician and fine author for the courage to rear on her hind legs and point out to colleges and readers the benefits of studying animal medicine to cure ourselves. One drawback is the book follows what I call the 90-10 rule which so many genius-crackpot offer that 90% of the evidence cases presented are false comparisons while the other 10% are astonishingly refreshing insights. It's up to the reader to distinguish which is which.
Another book that those who have no knowledge of biological or animal sciences will find fascinating and amazing. Well written and an easy read this is good for young people being introduced to biology for the first time to pique their interest. Also good for vet students or those interested in animal sciences as it does draw interesting conclusions about how veterinarians are sometimes much more flexible and capable than human vets as they are forced to care for hundreds of difference species.However, if you are already well versed in human and animal evolution not much in this book will be new to you. Still a fun read, just will not have the meaty content you are looking for.
Deeply researched, easily-read, and full of startling new information about how close we are to the animal world. Aren't weall One, as the prophets declared? Unfortunate convoluted title (Zoobiquity) which is cute but doesn't make you to pick upthe book and read it. Yet it should be read by everyone interested in health, the survival of the species (ourselves included), andnew medical breakthroughs about cancer, heart disease, etc. After this book, I have greater respect for veterinarians and theirwork. Society has put them on a lower rung than our over-specialized medical doctors. This is unfortunate, as the two disciplines should draw closer and learn from each other. Not only is this book an eve-opener, but I hope it will start a much needed dialogue on how much like animals we really are.
I was engaged immediately from the first chapter with the concept of how animals perceive a human stare. The amount of research, insight and interpretation is more than amazing. Instead of repeating the words and concepts of this book, I suggest that you purchase it and either read or listen because the information is so interesting. The stories are fascinating and I now look at every animal on this planet with a different eye. Living things have inhabited the earth long before we developed as humans and the authors of this book have shared years of hard work to communicate in words what animals do without them. Thank you for a book that changed my life and perspective on the world.
Well-written, nicely researched, easy to read. Unsure if it really gives full credit to veterinarians as we are still in the shadows of human medicine - though this may be due to Big Pharma and insurance company money and control factors. Loved the final chapter with West Nile Virus and the CDC not wanting to be wrong. I was hoping this book was going to go a bit further: Besides pill/techno medicine, there is the indescribable, magical healing powers of the human-animal bond. By sheer existence of it, this bond saves/extends/enriches lives far beyond western medicine.
