Human beings have always been affected by their surroundings. There
are various health benefits linked to being able to access to
nature; including increased physical activity, stress recovery, and
the stimulation of child cognitive development. The Oxford Textbook
of Nature and Public Health provides a broad and inclusive picture
of the relationship between our own health and the natural
environment. All aspects of this unique relationship are covered,
ranging from disease prevention through physical activity in green
spaces to innovative ecosystem services, such as climate change
adaptation by urban trees. Potential hazardous consequences are
also discussed including natural disasters, vector-borne pathogens,
and allergies. This book analyses the complexity of our human
interaction with nature and includes sections for example
epigenetics, stress physiology, and impact assessments. These
topics are all interconnected and fundamental for reaching a full
understanding of the role of nature in public health and wellbeing.
Much of the recent literature on environmental health has primarily
described potential threats from our natural surroundings. The
Oxford Textbook of Nature and Public Health instead focuses on how
nature can positively impact our health and wellbeing, and how much
we risk losing by destroying it. The all-inclusive approach
provides a comprehensive and complete coverage of the role of
nature in public health, making this textbook invaluable reading
for health professionals, students, and researchers within public
health, environmental health, and complementary medicine.
