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.
Snow Leopards, Second Edition provides a foundational,
comprehensive overview of the biology, ecology and conservation of
this iconic species. This updated edition incorporates all the
recent information from range-wide surveys and conservation
projects, the results of technical and advances particularly in
genetics, camera trapping and satellite tracking, and evaluates
emerging threats. New chapters synthesize the novel scientific
methods and statistical analyses used to develop density and
population estimates and how they inform conservation and
management estimates. Sections cover historical information, the
main biogeographic patterns, evolutionary trends, conservational
efforts, and cultural significance. Status and distribution are
fully updated for all 12 countries where snow leopards occur. Other
sections describe established and emerging threats, including
human-wildlife conflict, illegal trade, infrastructure development,
and climate change along with conservation solutions used to
address these threats. The book concludes with a final section on
global snow leopard initiatives and future potentials.
