Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book centers around the discovery that many unproductive soils are not lacking in nutrients, but contain substances that hinder plant growth. The author, a leading soil scientist, shares compelling evidence of these findings through experiments with wheat and oat seedlings and extracts from unproductive soils. He demonstrates that these toxic substances can be removed using simple treatments like filtration through carbon black, indicating that they are organic in nature. This book highlights the crucial role of examining the biological and chemical properties of soil to enhance crop yields. Understanding the impact of plant excretions on soil health and how they can create unfavorable conditions for subsequent plant growth adds a new dimension to the study of soil fertility. The author's findings have significant implications for sustainable farming practices and provide a foundation for further research in soil science. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

We welcome students of all interests and backgrounds to join us.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Fundamentals of Cell biology is a scientific discipline that studies cells their physiological properties, their structure, the organelles they contain, interactions with their environment, their life cycle, division and death. This is done both on a microscopic and molecular level. Cell biology research encompasses both the great diversity of single-celled organisms like bacteria and protozoa, as well as the many specialized cells in multicellular organisms such as humans. Knowing the components of cells and how cells work is fundamental to all biological sciences. Appreciating the similarities and differences between cell types is particularly important to the fields of cell and molecular biology as well as to biomedical fields such as cancer research and developmental biology.

Latin American famous medicinal plants. 5. Latin American important medicinal plants. It has abundant medicinal and aromatic plant species and traditional medicine in Asia has been practised since ancient times. The continent has well-documented traditional know- ledge, long-standing practice of traditional medicine and the potential for social and economic development of medicinal and aromatic plants in primary health care and industrial scale production. It is one of the largest biodiversity regions in the world containing some of the richest countries in plant resources. The continent has diverse plant flora but species richness is concentrated mainly in tropical or subtropical regions. Six of the world's 18 biodiversity hot-spots, namely the Eastern Himalaya, North Borneo, Peninsular Malaysia, Sri Lanka, the Philippines and the Western Ghats of South India lie in Asia. The countries of the region have large flora, for example China (30,000 species of higher plants, Indonesia (20,000), India (17,000), Myanmar (14,000), Malaysia (12,000) and Thailand (12,000). The island of Borneo has about 20,000 to 25,000 higher plant species. The current trend of forest destruction for the sake of development and the timber industry makes it important for scientists and the science involved to progress even faster in order to get potential of natural products from remaining forests. Biodiversity of medicinal plants is yet to be well studied in Malaysia. This is very important in view of the extensive destruction of habitats and also reduction of knowledgeable persons. The present book deals with all the important dimensions of this subject. It is a valuable reference source for all those interested in this subject. Coloured photographs of medicinal plants found in the area is an added attraction of the book.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Contents: 1. Cultivation of Medicinal plants in Australia region. 2. Herb plants in New Zealand. 3. Medicinal plants of Australia. 4. Medicinal Plants of Australian subcontinent. Australian Medicinal Plants is an invaluable resource for all those interested in herbal medicine, Aboriginal culture and Australian flora. Plants have been used for medicinal purposes since earliest recorded history all over the world. Australia is no exception, its varied flora providing the Aborigines with their medicines. With the arrival of Europeans much of this knowledge was overtaken by modern drugs and techniques but today there is a revival of interest in traditional medicines. The Australian Aboriginal people have used plants as medicine for thousands of years and have a vast reservoir of knowledge of Australia's unique flora. However, this traditional knowledge is poorly documented and is in danger of being lost, especially in southern and eastern Australia due to dislocation and greater westernisation of Aboriginal communities. During the last twenty years, anthropologists have worked in central and north-western Australia to record what is left of aboriginal medical lore. In Arnhem Land, the Kimberley, and in the deserts of western and central Australia, there are still aborigines living who were reared without the influence of Western ways. Their testimony has produced a starling picture of a complex and sophisticated pharmacopoeia, embracing remedies for all manner of ailments. Whether aborigines in southern Australia had the same range of plant remedies, it is impossible to say.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Contents: 1. Cultivation of medicinal plants in Europe. 2. Medicinal plants of Portugal. 3. Medicinal Plants of Italy. 4. Medicinal plants of France. 5. Medicinal plants of Germany. Many Greek and Roman writings on medicine, as on other subjects, were preserved by hand copying of manuscripts in monasteries. The monasteries thus tended to become local centres of medical knowledge, and their herb gardens provided the raw materials for simple treatment of common disorders. At the same time, folk medicine in the home and village continued uninterrupted, supporting numerous wandering and settled herbalists. Among these were the "wise- women", who prescribed herbal remedies often along with spells and enchantments. It was not until the late Middle Ages that women who were knowledgeable in herb lore became the targets of the witch hysteria. Medical schools known as Bimaristan began to appear from the 9th century in the medieval Islamic World among Persians and Arabs, which was generally more advanced than medieval Europe at the time. Herbals, medical texts and translations of the classics of antiquity filtered in from east and west. Muslim botanists and Muslim physicians significantly expanded on the earlier knowledge of material medica. This book covers all the aspects of this subject. It is hoped, the book will be found to be of immense value to the students of this subject. Coloured photographs of medicinal plants found in the area is an added attraction of the book.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Contents: 1. Cultivation of medicinal plants in African region. 2. Medicinal plants of Kenya. 3. Medicinal plants of Ethiopia. Traditional Medicine, as a major African socio-cultural heritage, obviously in existence for several hundreds of years, was once believed to be primitive and wrongly challenged with animosity, especially by foreign religions, dating back to the colonial days in Africa and subsequently by the conventional or orthodox medical practitioners. However today, Traditional Medicine has been brought into focus for meeting the goals of a wider coverage of primary health care delivery, not only in Africa but also, to various extents, in all countries of the world. Traditional Medicine is the first-choice healthcare treatment for at least 80% of Africans who suffer from high fever and other common ailments. Plants, which have formed the basis of sophisticated traditional medicine system for thousands of years, were originally instrumental to early pharmaceutical drug discovery and industry. Hence, the history of drug discovery and even drug chemistry is inexorably bound to the plant kingdom and the process of deriving drugs from plant sources is certainly not new.
