Thinking outside the box is paramount to focus clearly on the risks and challenges brought about by the human-animal-environment interactions. Forging collaborations between physicians, veterinarians and other scientists is essential to achieve health targets, as environmental health is not a domain restricted to a single discipline. The ‘One Health’ concept has been gaining momentum now to enhance such cooperation and collaborations to promote and improve health and well-being of all species of living beings. This book encompasses the true spirit of ‘One Health’ initiative. It contains analytical views of the experts from varied environmental health disciplines that not only assess the current situation but also provide futuristic visionary strategies. Written in simple and comprehensible manner, the book is a great resource, equally useful to the academicians, teachers, researchers, technocrats, managers, administrators, and the students of all disciplines related to environmental health. The book is sure to provide innovative insight to the health planners, policymakers and pollution control agencies to drive real and profound change in global survival.
