Dr. Warner chronicles his upbringing on a farm in Beaver Township, Ohio, to his service in the Air Force to his veterinary practice and his eventual role in founding a veterinary school focused on rural animal care. His careers as veterinarian, public health officer, epidemiologist, and medical educator blast myths about the inherent capabilities of small-town folk.
As Dr. Tedd Mitchell points out in the foreword to Pigs, Pets, and Public Health, 97 percent of American land can be classified as rural, but less than 20 percent of our population live in such spaces. Ronald Warner's career in veterinary medicine shows the wisdom that comes from a rural upbringing. His childhood on the farm brought him lessons in animal husbandry, anatomy, natural sciences, and food safety. As this way of life continues to diminish in contemporary America, Pigs, Pets, and Public Health spotlights the value of these traditions and the lives built around them.
