Reviews

“The book effectively assesses antimicrobial resistance from the One Health perspective using studies from both the human and veterinary medical fields. … The book uniquely describes the reasons antimicrobials are used from the perspective of both human and veterinary medicine. … This well-written book could serve as a resource for understanding the social factors affecting antimicrobial use and consumption in humans and animals.” (Pamela A. Foral, Doody's Book Reviews, January 04, 2019)
