Environmental Biodynamics: A New Science of How the Environment Interacts with Human Health

The book opens with a basic question: is there a central scientific theory that governs how human physiology interacts with the environment? The authors point out that the environment has a deep effect on health and well-being, yet the rules that guide this interaction remain hard to pin down.

The book notes that many disciplines study the separate parts of this relationship and their basic interactions, but that no single method has yet predicted how the systems behave together over time. That gap is the problem the book sets out to address, under the heading of a new science of environment and health.

Readers in environmental health, physiology and public health research, and anyone interested in how surroundings affect the body, will find the question at the centre of the book relevant.
