In the tradition of Temple Grandin Oliver Sacks and Neil Shubin cardiologist and psychiatrist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz and science writer Kathryn Bowers look at the remarkable correspondences between the way human beings and animals live die get sick and heal in their natural settings delving into an array of disciplines--evolution anthropology sociology biology cutting-edge medicine and zoology--to provide a revelatory understanding of what animals can teach us about the human body and mind. ; ; "Zoobiquity" is the term the authors have coined to refer to a new species-spanning approach to health. After being called in to consult on a case of heart failure in a monkey at the Los Angeles Zoo Natterson-Horowitz found herself launched on a journey of discovery that reshaped her entire approach to medicine. In Zoobiquity she uses fascinating case studies and scholarship to explore the ways in which what we know about animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose treat and ultimately heal human patients.
