The concept of One Health, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, has emerged as a major force in public health and disease prevention in the 21st century. This book explores the historical development of the One Health concept, examining the ways in which medicine and biomedical sciences have contributed to our understanding of One Health, and how this concept has shaped our approaches to public health and disease prevention.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "The Origins of One Health," explores the historical roots of the One Health concept, from its origins in the 18th and 19th centuries to its emergence as a major force in public health in the 20th century. The second part, "One Health in Practice," examines the ways in which One Health has been applied to a variety of public health and disease prevention challenges, including zoonotic diseases, food safety, and antimicrobial resistance. The third part, "The Future of One Health," looks ahead to the challenges and opportunities facing the One Health movement in the 21st century.

This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of One Health, the role of medicine and biomedical sciences in public health, or the future of disease prevention. It is also a timely and important contribution to the growing body of literature on One Health.
