One Health is an emerging concept that aims to bring together
human, animal, and environmental health. Achieving harmonized
approaches for disease detection and prevention is difficult
because traditional boundaries of medical and veterinary practice
must be crossed. In the 19th and early 20th centuries this was not
the case-then researchers like Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch and
physicians like William Osler and Rudolph Virchow crossed the
boundaries between animal and human health. More recently Calvin
Schwabe revised the concept of One Medicine. This was critical for
the advancement of the field of epidemiology, especially as applied
to zoonotic diseases. The future of One Health is at a crossroads
with a need to more clearly define its boundaries and demonstrate
its benefits. Interestingly the greatest acceptance of One Health
is seen in the developing world where it is having significant
impacts on control of infectious diseases.

Wildlife and the zoonotic pathogens they reservoir are the source
of most emerging infectious diseases of humans. AIDS, hantavirus
pulmonary syndrome, SARS, Monkeypox and the human ehrlichioses are
a few examples of the devastating effect achieved by cross-species
transmission of viral and bacterial pathogens of wildlife. Many
factors contribute to the appearance and spread of a pathogen,
including; changes in host/pathogen evolution and interaction,
human demographics, behavior and technology, environmental factors,
and the availability of health care and a public health
infrastructure capable of providing surveillance and interventions
aimed at disease prevention and control. Additionally, historical
factors and the coalescence of particular circumstances modify the
conditions by which pathogens and species have an opportunity to
intermix, evolve and spread. This volume provides an overview of
zoonotic pathogen emergence with an emphasis on the role of
wildlife. The first sections of the book explore the mechanisms by
which evolution, biology, pathology, ecology, history, and current
context have driven the emergence of different zoonotic agents, the
next sections provide specific example of disease emergence linked
to wildlife, and the final section offers an overview of current
methods directed at the surveillance, prevention and control of
zoonotic pathogens at the level of the wildlife host and possible
mechanisms to improve these activities. This book will be useful to
microbiologists, ecologists, zoologists, entomologists as well as
physicians and epidemiologists.
This volume, The Basal Ganglia V, is derived from proceedings of
the fifth Triennial Meeting of the International Basal Ganglia
Society (IBAGS). The Meeting was held from 23-26 May, 1995, at
Nemuno-Sato, in the Mie Prefecture of central Japan, not far from
the traditional birth place of the country. As at previous
Meetings, our aim was to hear and discuss new ideas and data on the
Basal Ganglia. About one hundred papers were presented, on platform
or as posters. We had valuable talks, stimulating discussions, and
agreeable social contacts. Although just before this Meeting, there
were several unusual accidents in Japan, a big earthquake in the
Kobe area, not far from the Meeting place, and toxic gas terrorism
in Tokyo, some hundred participants came from Europe, the United
States, and elsewhere. All through the Meeting days, we were
together in a beautiful environment, surrounded by fresh green
vegetation, flowers and blue sea, as has been traditional for IBAGS
meetings. We spent happy and pleasant sunny days there, with superb
accommodation and cuisine. Also following the traditional policy of
our Society, this volume has been edited to include as many papers
as possible, without any selection. New ideas and data may
sometimes be controversial and still immature, but we accepted all
and put them together in this volume. We hope that from these
fascinating papers, further new principles of basal ganglia action
might emerge in the future.

information presented is still timely...A compelling source of
information on recent research in the field.'' ---Journal of

This volume arose out of the symposium: "The Basal Ganglia:
Structure and Function," held at the beginning of September 1983 as
a satellite of the 29th International Congress of Physiological
Sciences. The symposium took place at Lorne, a village on the ocean
150km south-west of Melbourne in a former holiday guest-house
situated beside the beach. The sounds of surf and winter rain on
the iron roof provided a background to the proceedings. The
symposium was a happy and productive event, among a small group of
participants from twelve countries, undistracted by any competing
activities in the out-of-season period. Over three days, there were
formal papers with lively discussion, as well as posters displayed
continuously and available for comment during coffee and lunch
breaks. The more philosophical views on the basal ganglia were
aired at informal evening discussions after dinner. At the
symposium banquet on the final night, the participants voted to
form the International Basal Ganglia Society (IBAGS); Malcolm
Carpenter was elected Foundation President, with Richard Faull as
Organizing Secretary. The book comprises papers prepared by
participants after returning home, so that they had opportunities
for incorporating fruits of symposium discussions. Some anticipated
contributors were finally unable to participate, and a few who
presented data preferred not to submit papers for the book.

1907. Mackenzie's book is a thorough and independent discussion of
moral science and philosophy. Each of the chapters is written with
great care, and with a freshness and originality that take the work
quite out of the category of the ordinary textbook. The Contents
are divided into the following three parts: Prolegomena, Chiefly
Psychological; Theories of the Moral Standard; and The Moral Life.
