Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Biodiversity Change and Human Health brings together leading experts from the natural science and social science realms as well as the medical community to explore the explicit linkages between humandriven alterations of biodiversity and documented impacts of those changes on human health. The book utilizes multidisciplinary approaches to explore and address the complex interplay between natural biodiversity and human health and wellbeing. The five parts examinehealth tradeoffs between competing uses of biodiversity (highlighting synergistic situations in which conservation of natural biodiversity actually promotes human health and wellbeing);relationships between biodiversity and quality of life that have developed over ecological and evolutionary time;the effects of changing biodiversity on provisioning of ecosystem services, and how they have affected human health; the role of biodiversity in the spread of infectious disease;native biodiversity as a resource for traditional and modern medicineBiodiversity Change and Human Health synthesizes our current understanding and identifies major gaps in knowledge as it places all aspects of biodiversity and health interactions within a common framework. Contributors explore potential points of crossover among disciplines (both in ways of thinking and of specific methodologies) that could ultimately expand opportunities for humans to both live sustainably and enjoy a desirable quality of life.
