Zoobiquity: The Astonishing Connection Between Human and Animal Health
Zoobiquity: The Astonishing Connection Between Human and Animal Health | Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, Kathryn Bowers
4 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
"New York Times" Bestseller A "Discover" Magazine Best Book of 2012 An "O, The Oprah Magazine " Summer Reading PickFinalist, 2013 AAAS/Subaru "SB&F "Prize for Excellence in Science Books Do animals overeat? Get breast cancer? Have fainting spells? Inspired by an eye-opening consultation at the Los Angeles Zoo, which revealed that a monkey experienced the same symptoms of heart failure as her human patients, cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz embarked upon a project that would reshape how she practiced medicine. Beginning with the above questions, she began informally researching every affliction that she encountered in humans to learn whether it happened with animals, too. And usually, it did: dinosaurs suffered from brain cancer, koalas can catch chlamydia, reindeer seek narcotic escape in hallucinogenic mushrooms, stallions self-mutilate, and gorillas experience clinical depression. Natterson-Horowitz and science writer Kathryn Bowers have dubbed this pan-species approach to medicine "zoobiquity." Here, they present a revelatory understanding of what animals can teach us about the human body and mind, exploring how animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and heal patients of all species."

Reading Envy Podcast Episode 163: Fainting Goats.

If you're a fan of the show, you have already heard the episode with Lauren and Jenny recommending books for Women in Translation month. We recorded this episode earlier in the summer, but Jenny was just rearranging the furniture a bit. We talk quite about regional reading goals, translated works, and the wonder of lingering in a place through our reading.

Reggie “Maybe if he gave her more development...” Lolololol. 5y
ReadingEnvy @Reggie 😁🤦 5y
Centique Great episode Jenny. Man Lauren reads widely too - I loved that discussion about Murakami and your talk about sci fi books at the end. Also have to pick up Bangkok Wakes To Rain, it sounds soooo good. 😊 5y

ReadingEnvy @Centique Lauren really inspires me. The one time we met in person we talked for five hours. 5y
Centique @ReadingEnvy wow, that‘s amazing! I can totally see why. I wish I had more bookish people in my real life to do that with 😍 5y

Mehso-so

This is full of interesting (and some downright disgusting!) facts about both human and animal health and where they overlap. It‘s not quite full of many complete examples but there are a lot of “popular” diseases and health issues covered here- I think I would have preferred reading it though instead of #AudioColoring to it!

My parents have been dealing with a number of health issues over the last few years and more recently this summer. Maybe that's why this book caught my eye at the bookstore today.
