Book excerpt: Excerpt from El Continente Americano, Vol. 1: Conferencias Dadas en el Ateneo Cientifico, Literario y Artistico de Madrid, Con Motivo del Cuarto Centenario del Descubrimiento de America De sobra habra comprendido el auditorio con solo conocer nuestro acuerdo, que no tratamos de fabricar un edificio con simetricas lineas, y todavia menos sometido a la necesidad pri mordial de las obras de arte, es decir, con proporcionado des envolvimiento y ejecucion sistematica. quien podria preten derlo en Obra de muchos autores? Tan solo cabe que sea comun el entusiasmo fundadisimo que a todos inspirara cuanto toca al origen y vicisitudes, primero del descubridor, despues del descubrimiento. Tan solo sera de rigor que, al acercarnos a las fechas, mas que cualesquiera otras memorables en la serie de los sucesos humanos, de 3 de Agosto y 12 de Octubre de 1492, ninguno deniegue la justicia debida a cuantos de una manera u otra, y con mas o menos merito u eficacia, pusieron mano en la aventura inmortal. Por lo que hace a la forma, inevitable es que nuestras conferencias constituyan monografias indepen dientes, ora expuestas por individuos de esta Corporacion, ora por sujetos altamente reputados de aquellos paises que, al tiempo mismo que los hijos de la moderna Espana, deben recoger hoy 1a gloria del descubrimiento. Quiza por la misma espontaneidad yautonomia de cada espiritu, podran en este colectivo trabajo investigarse, analizarse y explicarse por mas intensa manera los hechos, ya anteriores, ya posteriores, que se relacionan con el cardinal hecho de que trato. Materia vasta, vastisima; mas no por eso desigual a las combinadas fuerzas del Ateneo, y de los que en esta ocasion contamos por aliados. Y ya que no nos sea posible desempenarla con aquel sumo sentido que en susultimas y trascendentales lucubraciones pide la historia, tal vez aqui logremos una ventaja diferente y peculiar a las monogra fias o estudios de sucesos particulares, es a saber: que sea ma yor la riqueza de las observaciones. Ni estas han de limitarse al descubrimiento en sus principios, que quedaria a medias la obra, sino que han de extenderse a su desarrollo sucesivo, es decir, a la conquista, y aun al estudio pasado y presente del nuevo orbe descubierto. Tal es, en conjunto, el tema. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Handbook on the New Law of the Sea Volume 1 written by René-Jean Dupuy and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 917 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fact that the Montego Bay Convention has been only ratified by 37 States at present and that it will be some time before the 60 ratifications required by Article 308 are achieved has not prevented states from acting in accordance with the rules drawn up by the Conference. Close on one hundred states have established either exclusive economic zones broadly modelled on Part V or 200-nautical-mile fishery zones and drawn on the principles laid down for exploiting living resources. Although these laws have been formulated unilaterally by states, international custom, since the judgement by the International Court of Justice in the Fisheries Case of 18 December 1951, is derived from concordant national rules. This shift began even before the Conference ended, and has been consolidated since then. Moreover, the régime governing the sea-bed beyond the limits of national jurisdiction defined by Part XI, which was the stumbling block of the Conference, is subject to transitional arrangements on the basis of two resolutions adopted in the Conference's Final Act, one providing for the establishment of a Preparatory Commission and the other on the preliminary activities of pioneer investors. This two-volume work, an earlier edition of which appeared in French, has been written by a team of experts of international renown. It presents an analysis of the Convention with an additional Chapter on the legal régime governing underwater archaeological and historical objects.

Download or read book Ethnic Knowledge and Perspectives of Medicinal Plants written by Münir Öztürk and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-10-20 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new 2-volume set aims to share and preserve ethnic and traditional knowledge of herbal medicine and treatments, while also emphasizing the link between biodiversity, human nutrition, and food security. Ethnic Knowledge and Perspectives of Medicinal Plants is divided into two volumes, with volume 1 focusing on the traditional use of curative properties and treatment strategies of medicinal plants, and volume 2 addressing the varied nutritional and dietary benefits of medicinal plants and the practice of Ayurveda. Both volumes stress the importance of bioresources for human nutrition and nutraceuticals based on ethnic knowledge and the need for efforts to protect biodiversity in many regions rich with medicinal plants. Exploring the benefits of medicinal plants in disease prevention, treatment, and management, Volume 1 discusses the traditional use of medicinal plants as promising therapeutics for cancer, liver conditions, COVID-19, and other human ailments. It examines the efficacy of Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal medicine, Indian traditional medicine, and other ethnic herbal practices used by indigenous peoples of Azerbaijan, South America, Turkey, India, etc. A variety of plants are discussed, and the ethnomedicinal applications of over 100 wild mushrooms for their medicinal and healthcare purposes are elaborated on. While volume 1 focuses primarily on natural plant resources for addressing specific health issues, volume 2 looks at traditional medicinal plant use for their nutritional and dietary benefits, while also encouraging the preservation of biodiversity for healthy and sustainable diets. The volume presents information on over 2200 vascular plant taxa from 127 families as well as many taxa from leaf parts, fruits, underground parts, floral parts, seeds, and more that have potential use as edible food plants. Ethnic knowledge on the wild edible mushrooms is an emerging area, which is unique and is dependent on the folk knowledge of tribals; this volume discusses the unique nutritional attributes of wild edible mushrooms (206 species belonging to 73 genera) in Southern India. The authors look at various lichens as nutritional aids and medicine and as flavoring agents and spices. Fucoidans derived from the seaweeds (and spirulina) are described for their antioxidant activity, nutritional and anti-aging properties, antiviral activities, anti-cancer properties, anti-diabetic properties, and more. The authors also examine how ethnicity affects healthcare/nutritive systems at different levels through various dynamics such as lower income, inability for services uptake, disputes among different ethnic groups, cultural attitudes (some ethnic group are vegetarian), lack of socio-economic resources, and disease prevalence. Together, these two important volumes aim to preserve and disseminate the valuable ethnic knowledge of medicinal plants gained over thousands of years and to promote the value of integrating and safeguarding biodiversity.
