Book Review by Lisa A. Conti, DVM, MPH.  Dr. Conti is a member of the One Health Initiative Autonomous pro bono Team.  One World – the Health and Survival of the Species in the 21st Century “In the Introductory Statement of the book, One World – the Health and Survival of the Species in the 21st Century (Edited by Robert Lanza, MD), Dr. C. Everett Koop, encourages the readers to consider the wide spectrum of health problems and solutions through three “opposing philosophies”:  Treatment/Prevention, Ethics/Economics and Personal Responsibility/Greed.  He states, keeping these “in mind leads to a sense of balance in an ever-changing world where the principles must remain the constant.”  This is good advice when reading through this unique collection of thirty-one essays and eight statements by prominent health and policy figures around the globe.  In its entirety, the book is a clear clarion call to action to improve health worldwide by advancing medicine and science and overcoming societal barriers toward reaching this goal.”   Copies are available at a reduced cost.  For details contact:  Kathleen Frazier goodbooks@healthpress.com Health Press NA Inc.
