Drawing on the concept of resilient healthcare, this book explores
multimodally embedded everyday practices of healthcare
professionals in the UK and Japan, utilising novel technology, such
as eye-tracking glasses, to inform what constitutes good practice.
Providing an interdisciplinary examination of the theories and
rationales of resilient healthcare, the book engages with a range
of case studies from a variety of healthcare settings in the UK and
Japan and considers the application of advanced technologies for
visualising healthcare interactions and implementing virtual
healthcare simulation. In doing so, it showcases a number of
multimodal approaches and highlights the potential benefits of
multimodal and multidisciplinary approaches to healthcare
communication research for enhancing resilience in their local
contexts.
Oceans and Human Health: Opportunities and Impacts, Second Edition
explores the inextricably interconnected and complex relationship
between oceans and humans. Through the lens of the expanding oceans

benefits to human health. Written and edited by an
interdisciplinary team of experts, the book features international
perspectives on the resources available to address these benefits
and risks, including enhanced research, policy, and community
engagement. The book concludes by examining the future of ocean
stewardship and how global populations can unite to nurture and
promote our life-enhancing relationship with oceans. This is an
