Cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, joining forces with science journalist Kathryn Bowers, employs fascinating case studies and meticulous scholarship to present 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. Delving into evolution, anthropology, sociology, biology, veterinary science, and zoology, they break down the walls between disciplines, redefining the boundaries of medicine.

Zoobiquity explores how animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and heal patients of all species.

For doctors and non-doctors alike, Zoobiquity dangles the possibility that many areas of human endeavor—psychology, nutrition, and parenting…even education, business, and entertainment—can be explored and understood by appreciating our vast and sometimes unexpected overlaps with our fellow animals.
