One Health Meets the Exposome: Human, Wildlife, and Ecosystem
Health brings together the two powerful conceptual frameworks of
One Health and the Exposome to comprehensively examine the myriad
of biological, environmental, social, and cultural challenges
impacting the interrelated health of humans, wildlife, and
ecosystems. One Health as an encompassing concept and collaborative
framework recognizes the interconnections among humans, wildlife,
and our shared environment with the goal of optimizing health
outcomes for all. The Exposome is more specifically oriented to
human health and considers cumulative environmental exposures
affecting individuals, communities, and populations. This book will
provide the broadened and integrative view that considers a more
holistic approach needed to confront the complex issues facing us
today. One Health Meets the Exposome: Human, Wildlife, and
Ecosystem Health is a valuable and cutting-edge resource for
researchers and practitioners in medicine, public health, animal
science, wildlife and field biology, and for any reader looking to
better understand the relationships among human health and the
environment.

A brilliant new voice in science writing shows why playfulness and curiosity are the key to science.
Why would anyone research how elephants pee? Or study worms who tie themselves into a communal knot? Or quantify the squishability of a cockroach? It all sounds pointless, silly, or even disgusting.
Maybe it is. But in The Salmon Cannon and the Levitating Frog, Carly Anne York shows how unappreciated, overlooked, and simply curiosity-driven science has led to breakthroughs big and small. Got wind power? You might have humpback whales to thank. Know anything about particle physics? Turns out there is a ferret close to the heart of it all. And if you want to keep salmon around, be thankful for that cannon! The research itself can seem bizarre. But it drives our economy. And what’s more, this stuff is simply cool.
York invites readers to appreciate the often unpredictable journey of scientific exploration, highlighting that the heart of science lies in the relentless pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. Emphasizing the hard work of the people behind the discoveries, this is an accessible, story-driven book that shows how important and exciting it is to simply let curiosity run wild.
