The Correspondence of Charles Darwin: Volume 5, 1851-1855


Book Description

"For the first time full authoritative texts of Darwin's are made available, edited according to modern textual editorial principles and practice. Letter-writing was of crucial importance to Darwin's work, not only because his poor health isolated him from direct personal communication with his scientific colleagues but also because the nature of his investigations required communication with naturalists in many fields and in all quarters of the globe. Thus the letters are a mine of information about the work in progress of a creative genius who produced an intellectual revolution." --







Human Health and its Maintenance with the Aid of Medicinal Plants


Book Description

A groundbreaking formula of interlocking ideas which integrate circadian physiology with the transformations that constitute human life. Based on forty years of clinical practice, Julian Barker takes knowledge, information, and data from various disciplines, presenting an integrative model of health, linking circadian biology with the psychosocial human being. He develops a theory that attempts to explain how medicinal plants modify human physiology and how they contribute to health. Aimed at the student acquiring knowledge and developing the skills to practise medicine as well as the qualified herbal practitioner, this thought-provoking work breaks new ground in health theory.
