Ancient and Traditional Foods, Plants, Herbs and Spices used in the Middle East (Ancient and Traditional Foods, Plants, Herbs and Spices in Human Health)
The use of different foods, herbs, and spices to treat or prevent disease has been recorded for thousands of years. Egyptian papyrus, hieroglyphics and ancient texts from the Middle East have described the cultivation and preparations of herbs and botanicals to “cure the sick.” There are even older records from China and India. Some ancient scripts describe the use of medicinal plants which have never been seen within European cultures. Indeed, all ancient civilizations have pictorial records of different foods, herbs, and spices being used for medical purposes. However, there are fundamental questions and issues pertaining to the scientific evidence for the use of these agents or their extracts in modern medicine. These issues are explored in Ancient and Traditional Foods, Plants, Herbs and Spices used in the Middle East. Features · Describes uses and applications of plant-based materials from different countries of the Middle East. · Each chapter has unique cross references to foods, herbs, spices and botanicals · Bridges molecular biology, physiology and medical sciences · Coverage includes herbal medicines, supplements, lifestyle patterns, nutrition, and plant-based diets · Each chapter describes usage and applications of traditional foods and botanicals; historical background; toxicity; cautionary notes; and summary points There have been considerable advances in scientific techniques over the last few decades. These have been used to examine the composition and applications of traditional cures. Modern science has also seen the investigation of herbs, spices and botanicals beyond their traditional usage. Written by international experts, this is an essential read for food researchers, food scientists, and nutritionists, researchers and health professionals with an interest in the potential therapeutic value of Middle Eastern food components. The book will also be of relevance to physicians and pharmacologists.
Ancient Bodies, Modern Lives: How Evolution Has Shaped Women's Health
by Wenda Trevathan, Ph.D.Winner of the 2011 W.W. Howells Book Award of the American Anthropological Association How has bipedalism impacted human childbirth? Do PMS and postpartum depression have specific, maybe even beneficial, functions? These are only two of the many questions that specialists in evolutionary medicine seek to answer, and that anthropologist Wenda Trevathan addresses in Ancient Bodies, Modern Lives. Exploring a range of women's health issues that may be viewed through an evolutionary lens, specifically focusing on reproduction, Trevathan delves into issues such as the medical consequences of early puberty in girls, the impact of migration, culture change, and poverty on reproductive health, and how fetal growth retardation affects health in later life. Hypothesizing that many of the health challenges faced by women today result from a mismatch between how their bodies have evolved and the contemporary environments in which modern humans live, Trevathan sheds light on the power and potential of examining the human life cycle from an evolutionary perspective, and how this could improve our understanding of women's health and our ability to confront health challenges in more creative, effective ways.
Ancient Futures: Learning From Ladakh
by Helena Norberg HodgeLadakh, or 'Little Tibet', is a wildly beautiful desert land up in the Western Himalayas. It is a place of few resources and an extreme climate. Yet for more than a thousand years, it has been home to a thriving culture. Traditions of frugality and cooperation, coupled with an intimate and location-specific knowledge of the environment, enabled the Ladakhis not only to survive, but to prosper. Everyone had enough to eat; families and communities were strong; the status of women was high. Then came 'development'. Now in the modern sector one finds pollution and divisiveness, inflation and unemployment, intolerance and greed. Centuries of ecological balance and social harmony are under threat from pressures of Western consumerism. Ancient Futures is much more than a book about Ladakh. Passionately argued, it raises important questions about the whole notion of progress, and explores the root causes of the malaise of industrial society. At the same time, the story of Ladakh serves as a source of inspiration for our own future. It shows us that another way is possible, and points to some of the first steps towards kinder, gentler patterns of living.
Ancient Magic and the Supernatural in the Modern Visual and Performing Arts (Bloomsbury Studies in Classical Reception #7)
by Filippo Carlà Irene BertiTo what extent did mythological figures such as Circe and Medea influence the representation of the powerful 'oriental' enchantress in modern Western art? What role did the ancient gods and heroes play in the construction of the imaginary worlds of the modern fantasy genre? What is the role of undead creatures like zombies and vampires in mythological films? Looking across the millennia, from the distrust of ancient magic and oriental cults, which threatened the new-born Christian religion, to the revival and adaptation of ancient myths and religion in the arts centuries later, this book offers an original analysis of the reception of ancient magic and the supernatural, across a wide variety of different media – from comics to film, from painting to opera. Working in a variety of fields across the globe, the authors of these essays deconstruct certain scholarly traditions by proposing original interdisciplinary approaches and collaborations, showing to what extent the visual and performing arts of different periods interlink and shape cultural and social identities.

by Rebecca DennisA wellbeing guide to the art of conscious breathing techniques: boost energy, combat stress and improve heart health.Breathing is something we all know how to do. And yet, the majority of teenagers and adults let go of their natural ability to breathe fully.

By learning how to consciously connect to our breath and encourage its natural rhythms, we can harmonise the body and mind, live life fully, find emotional freedom and feel empowered. And Breathe teaches readers how to harness the power of conscious breathing, a technique which helps alleviate stress, fatigue and negative emotions such as anger, frustration and depression, leaving readers feel calm yet energised, focused yet relaxed. It is a practical guide to letting go of the unwanted patterns of emotions, blockages and tension which hold us back and includes simple to follow exercises, tips, case studies, interviews and testimonials.

Andrologia clinica
by Wolf-Bernhard Schill Frank H. Comhaire Timothy B. HargreaveL’andrologia è una disciplina ancora giovane, ma in grande espansione, che spazia su alcuni aspetti fondamentali della vita dell’uomo: dalla sessualità alla riproduzione, dalle patologie tumorali del sistema urogenitale alle patologie andrologiche dell’invecchiamento. Questo volume, tradotto dall’edizione originale inglese, consiste di due parti. La prima, direttamente legata alla pratica clinica, si incentra sulla diagnosi e sulla risoluzione dei problemi in campo andrologico, offrendo dunque al medico l’informazione più adeguata su argomenti come: • L’infertilità maschile • Disfunzioni dell’eiaculazione, dell’erezione e della libido • Tumori e infezioni dell’apparato genitale maschile • Le frontiere della contraccezione maschile • L’invecchiamento nell’uomo La seconda parte contiene invece informazioni scientifiche più dettagliate e approfondite che completano gli argomenti precedentemente trattati, e ne descrivono i meccanismi fisiopatologici e gli strumenti diagnostico-terapeutici più innovativi. Vengono inoltre presentati argomenti fondamentali, raramente affrontati nei testi andrologici, quali le anomalie dello sviluppo sessuale prenatale, le patologie mammarie nell’uomo, le terapie comportamentali, l’estetica chirurgica e la dermatologia. Quest’opera riesce a coniugare una trattazione sintetica, e allo stesso tempo completa, della disciplina, con una veste grafica accattivante, ricca di immagini, che favoriscono la praticità di consultazione e la semplicità di studio. Andrologia Clinica raccoglie i contributi di numerosi esperti internazionali del settore e sarà di grandissima utilità per andrologi, urologi, dermatologi, endocrinologi, ginecologi, medici di medicina generale, geriatri, psicologi, psichiatri pediatri e per tutti coloro che sono interessati ai problemi della sfera riproduttiva e sessuale maschile.

Andrology: Male Reproductive Health and Dysfunction
by Eberhard Nieschlag Hermann M. Behre Susan NieschlagThe decade that has passed since publication of the second edition of this textbook has not only witnessed a tremendous increase in knowledge within the ? eld of and- logy, but also seen the ? eld itself achieve a newfound status within the medical p- fession. Knowledge and status have been of mutual bene? t to the ? eld and the growing critical mass of diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities have caused andrology to be recognized as a medical subspecialty in some countries such as Germany, Poland, and Estonia. The European Academy of Andrology (EAA) served as a pacemaker for this development and continues to strive for establishment of andrology as a clinical ? eld. Well-designed curricula and qualifying examinations have contributed to the of? cial recognition of andrology as a speciality. This recognition of the ? eld helps patients with andrological problems to ? nd the specialist they seek. This textbook summarizes the current state of knowledge in the ? eld of andrology. It is a source of knowledge to all those who are or want to become andrologists. In addition, as andrology is clearly an interdisciplinary ? eld, this book may serve as a compendium and source of reference for all those physicians and biologists active in neighboring areas, who want to obtain an overview of andrology and who require information on special problems. The extensive references are timely and up to date.
