Download or read book Nature s Pharmacopeia written by Dan Choffnes and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This beautifully illustrated, elegantly written textbook pairs the best research on the biochemical properties and physiological effects of medicinal plants with a fascinating history of their use throughout human civilization, revealing the influence of nature's pharmacopeia on art, war, conquest, and law. By chronicling the ways in which humans have cultivated plant species, extracted their active chemical ingredients, and investigated their effects on the body over time, Nature's Pharmacopeia also builds an unparalleled portrait of these special herbs as they transitioned from wild flora and botanical curiosities to commodities and potent drugs. The book opens with an overview of the use of medicinal plants in the traditional practices and indigenous belief systems of people in the Americas, Africa, Asia, and ancient Europe. It then connects medicinal plants to the growth of scientific medicine in the West. Subsequent chapters cover the regulation of drugs; the use of powerful plant chemicals—such as cocaine, nicotine, and caffeine—in various medical settings; and the application of biomedicine's intellectual frameworks to the manufacture of novel drugs from ancient treatments. Geared toward nonspecialists, this text fosters a deep appreciation of the complex chemistry and cultural resonance of herbal medicine, while suggesting how we may further tap the vast repositories of the world's herbal knowledge to create new pharmaceuticals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pharmacopeia and the Physician: A Series of Articles Which Originally Appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Discussing the Chief Substances in the United States Pharmacopeia, Classifying Them According to Their Uses and Describing Their Methods of Combination And A physician who has mastered the fundamentals of pharmacology will thoroughly appreciate that there can be no virtue in secrecy so far as drugs and medicinal substances are concerned, and will readily recognize the self-evident fact that all of the effects produced by esoteric combinations of well-known medicaments can, and must, be produced equally well by the use of the same medicaments under their proper designations. With the gradual increase of our knowledge concerning the pharmacology of drugs there must be a corresponding decrease in the need, or the supposed need, for the empiric use of complex mixtures of either known or unknown composition, and the future medical practitioner will be in a position to evolve a comprehensive system of drug therapeutics from an intimate knowledge of the pharmacology of but a limited number of drugs and will, therefore, be free to ignore the use of all nostrums or ready-made prescriptions. The first reprint of the original articles, in book form, was in the nature of an experiment, and it is particularly gratifying, therefore, that a second edition is needed at this time.

Download or read book Enviromedics written by Jay Lemery and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us have concerns about the effects of climate change on Earth, but we often overlook the essential issue of human health. This book addresses that oversight and enlightens readers about the most important aspect of one of the greatest challenges of our time. The global environment is under massive stress from centuries of human industrialization. The projections regarding climate change for the next century and beyond are grim. The impact this will have on human health is tremendous, and we are only just now discovering what the long-term outcomes may be. By weighing in from a physician’s perspective, Jay Lemery and Paul Auerbach clarify the science, dispel the myths, and help readers understand the threats of climate change to human health. No better argument exists for persuading people to care about climate change than a close look at its impacts on our physical and emotional well-being. The need has never been greater for a grounded, informative, and accessible discussion about this topic. In this groundbreaking book, the authors not only sound the alarm but address the health issues likely to arise in the coming years.

Download or read book Pharmacopoeia written by Derek Jarman and published by Random House. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I planted a dog rose. Then I found a curious piece of driftwood and used this, and one of the necklaces of holey stones on the wall, to stake the rose. The garden had begun. I saw it as a therapy and a pharmacopoeia.' In 1986 artist and filmmaker, Derek Jarman, bought Prospect Cottage, a Victorian fisherman's hut on the desert sands of Dungeness. It was to be a home and refuge for Jarman throughout his HIV diagnosis, and it would provide the stage for one of his most enduring, if transitory projects - his garden. Conceived of as a 'pharmacopoeia' - an ever-evolving circle of stones, plants and flotsam sculptures all built and grown in spite of the bracing winds and arid shingle - it remains today a site of fascination and wonder. Pharmacopoeia brings together the best of Derek Jarman's writing on nature, gardening and Prospect Cottage. Told through journal entries, poems and fragments of prose, it paints a portrait of Jarman's personal and artistic reliance on the space Dungeness offered him, and shows the cycle of the years spent there in one moving collage. '[Derek] made of this wee house, his wooden tent pitched in the wilderness, an artwork - and out of its shingle skirts, an ingenious garden - now internationally recognised. But, first and foremost, the cottage was always a living thing, a practical toolbox for his work' Tilda Swinton, from her Foreword
