"Wild Health is a bench-mark book of multi-disciplinary science, highly accessible to both layman and expert alike. It is an intellectually refreshing call for a more holistic approach to health and staying healthy. Articulately separating science fact from fiction, Dr. Engel takes the reader on a spell-binding journey through the various possible strategies which have evolved in the animal kingdom for defence against disease, the unseen predator. The lessons to be learned from this book are clear and simple. No single animal species or human culture has a monopoly on the powers of healing. We need to protect and respect them all. By combining millions of years of natural selection in the animal kingdom with the accumulative knowledge of modern and traditional human health care systems, we stand a better chance of survival not only as individuals but also as a species."
Michael A. Huffman, D.Sc., Associate Professor of Ecology, Kyoto University, Japan.
"A book which would have been valuable and fascinating at any time since Darwin, but is now urgently needed."
Professor Martin Wolfe, Research Director, Elm Farm Research Centre, UK.
"This book provides a splendid and scientifically accurate account of animals' knowledge of what's good for them to eat and what's not. It provides evidence of lifesaving biological pre-programming of animals and perhaps some evidence in support of animal culture. It is a "must buy" book for anyone who wants to know more about how animals think and react to the world around them."
Dr. Nicholas H. Dodman, Professor, Tufts University.
"Scientific fact is based on what we know today and will almost certainly change over time. Cindy Engel synthesizes a collation of seemingly disparate anecdotes into a cohesive, logical argument that makes the
reader think outside the constraints of current biological boundaries--providing a foundation of testable hypotheses in understanding the integrated nature of Wild Health."
Dr. Ellen S. Dierenfeld, Department Head, Wildlife Nutrition, Wildlife Conservation Society, Bronx Zoo, USA.
"Wild Health is a fascinating and enlightening view of how our relatives stay healthy. Secrets of nature deliciously told."
William Karesh Chair of the Wildlife Specialist Group, International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources
"A Sensuous, rigorous analysis of how animals stay healthy in the wild"
Celeste Biever, The Financial Times.
"A fact-filled fun-to-read book... Read this book, marvel, and start imitating the wisdom of wild animals"
Jeffry Mason, author of "When Elephants Weep".
"A fascinating new book... The implications are huge"
Jerome Burne Guardian.
"Reading Wild Health is an astonishing experience - it's a revelation in the same way that Silent Spring was a revelation, and will change the way its readership sees the world. With its faultless scholarship and beautiful writing, Wild Health is a stunning achievement, and will certainly have enormous influence."
Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of "The Hidden Life of Dogs"
