One Health
One Health, the concept of combined veterinary and human health, has now expanded beyond emerging infectious diseases and zoonoses to incorporate a wider suite of health issues. Retaining its interdisciplinary focus which combines theory with practice, this new edition illustrates the contribution of One Health collaborations to real-world issues such as sanitation, economics, food security and vaccination programmes. It includes more non-infectious disease issues and climate change discussion alongside revised case studies and expanded methodology chapters to draw out implications for practice. Promoting an action-based, solutions-oriented approach, One Health: The Theory and Practice of Integrated Health Approaches highlights the lessons learned for both human and animal health professionals and students.
Religious Tourism and the Environment
The remarkable growth in religious tourism across the world has generated considerable interest in the impacts of this type of tourism. Focusing here on environmental issues, this book moves beyond the documentation of environmental impacts to examine in greater depth the intersections between religious tourism and the environment. Beginning with an in-depth introduction that highlights the intersections between religion, tourism, and the environment, the book then focuses on the environment as a resource or generator for religious tourism and as a recipient of the impacts of religious tourism. Chapters included discuss such important areas as theological views, environmental responsibility, and host perspectives.
Covering as many cultural and environmental regions as possible, this book provides:
–An in-depth yet holistic view of the relationships between religious tourism and the environment; –A conceptual framework that goes beyond listing potential environment impacts; –A strong focus on explaining the universality of the deeper environmental issues surrounding sacredness and sacred places; –A discussion of the role of disease and health-related issues at mass religious gatherings.
From a global writing team and featuring case studies spanning Europe and Asia, this book will be of great interest to researchers and students of tourism and religious studies, as well as those studying environmental issues.

Top 10 Vaccine Objections
This work of narrative non-fiction deals with common questions and doubts people have about vaccines, using very accessible, conversational, non-technical language. If you have ever thought any of the following, “Vaccines are not for me, I'm young and healthy and don't need them”; “I rather develop natural immunity to infections, without vaccination”; “Immunisation is a personal choice, it only affects me, so I'll take the risk” then this book is for you. You would also enjoy this book if you have ever heard people articulate these beliefs and you couldn't quite put your finger on why these are common misunderstandings. Throughout the book the author uses simple analogies, real-life examples and relatable stories, to explain common questions and objections people have about vaccines and vaccination. The text is wonderfully complemented by original and funny cartoons which bring home the main points, in a memorable and humorous way. This book is a collection of honest conversations and discussions he's had over the years with people who have doubts and hesitations about the contents, purpose, and safety of vaccines.
