Book Synopsis The Andean Wonder Drug by : Matthew James Crawford
Download or read book The Andean Wonder Drug written by Matthew James Crawford and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth century, malaria was a prevalent and deadly disease, and the only effective treatment was found in the Andean forests of Spanish America: a medicinal bark harvested from cinchona trees that would later give rise to the antimalarial drug quinine. In 1751, the Spanish Crown asserted control over the production and distribution of this medicament by establishing a royal reserve of "fever trees" in Quito. Through this pilot project, the Crown pursued a new vision of imperialism informed by science and invigorated through commerce. But ultimately this project failed, much like the broader imperial reforms that it represented. Drawing on extensive archival research, Matthew Crawford explains why, showing how indigenous healers, laborers, merchants, colonial officials, and creole elites contested European science and thwarted imperial reform by asserting their authority to speak for the natural world. The Andean Wonder Drug uses the story of cinchona bark to demonstrate how the imperial politics of knowledge in the Spanish Atlantic ultimately undermined efforts to transform European science into a tool of empire.
Book Synopsis The Dragon in World Mythology and Culture by : Robert M. Sarwark
Download or read book The Dragon in World Mythology and Culture written by Robert M. Sarwark and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dragons are everywhere, seemingly hidden in plain sight. These mythological reptilian monsters date far into known human history in nearly every part of the world and are still prevalent in today's media and entertainment. The wide cultural, geographical, and linguistic diffusion of dragons or dragon-like creatures shows how modern humans have influenced each other through shared tales of monsters while simultaneously hinting at a shared genesis. This book introduces dragon myths and legends from around the world by following human culture's shared evolutionary past via language, folklore, the arts, and commerce. Dragons in folklore, literature, and pop culture are analyzed from Eastern and Western perspectives, leading to a dual analysis of dragons in today's popular culture and media. While other books on the topic have focused primarily on classical sources, or on cataloging various dragon tales in general, this work identifies the subtle yet profound ways in which the dragon figure or related motifs have slyly entered into our collective psyche as participants in the modern, interconnected world.
Book Synopsis Everything Is Sacred by : Bryan C Hollon
Download or read book Everything Is Sacred written by Bryan C Hollon and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that Henri de Lubac's groundbreaking and highly controversial work on nature and grace had important implications for the Church's relationship to culture and was intended to remove a philosophical obstacle hindering Catholicism's faithful engagement with the secular world. Hollon addresses neglected aspects of de Lubac's theological renewal by examining the centrality and indispensability of spiritual exegesis in his work. In addition to exploring the historical and ecclesiastical context within which he worked, this book brings de Lubac into critical engagement with the more recent theological movements of postliberalism and radical orthodoxy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should you read this book...' Maybe one item, one sentence might strike a chord and influence you to think a little bit differently about something. That one item may cause you to make a change in an offense or do something different with your kids, or do something different as a ref. If one sentence causes you to see your calls differently, coach your team a little differently, give one player a little more playing time or another player a little less playing time... If something in this book results in your being less argumentative or better capable of holding your ground and doing what's best for you... if one small suggestion makes a change in anything you do, then everything that I have written here will have served its purpose.
Book Synopsis Jesuit Astrology by : Luís Campos Ribeiro
Download or read book Jesuit Astrology written by Luís Campos Ribeiro and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connections between the Society of Jesus and astrology used to appear as unexpected at best. Astrology was never viewed favourably by the Church, especially in early modern times, and since Jesuits were strong defenders of Catholic orthodoxy, most historians assumed that their religious fervour would be matched by an equally strong rejection of astrology. This groundbreaking and compelling study brings to light new Jesuit scientific texts revealing a much more positive, practical, and nuanced attitude. What emerges forcefully is a totally new perspective into early modern Jesuit culture, science, and education, highlighting the element that has been long overlooked: astrology.

Book Synopsis A Singular Remedy by : Stefanie Gänger
Download or read book A Singular Remedy written by Stefanie Gänger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stefanie Gänger explores how medical knowledge was shared across societies tied to the Atlantic World between 1751 and 1820. Centred on Peruvian bark or cinchona, Gänger shows how that remedy and knowledge about its consumption – formulae for bittersweet, 'aromatic' wines, narratives about its discovery or beliefs in its ability to prevent fevers – were understood by men and women in varied contexts. These included Peruvian academies and Scottish households, Louisiana plantations and Moroccan court pharmacies alike. This study in plant trade, therapeutic exchange, and epistemic brokerage shows how knowledge weaves itself into the fabric of everyday medical practice in different places.

Book excerpt: Science and Empire in the Atlantic World is the first book in the growing field of Atlantic Studies to examine the production of scientific knowledge in the Atlantic world from a comparative and international perspective. Rather than focusing on a specific scientific field or single national context, this collection captures the multiplicity of practices, people, languages, and agendas that characterized the traffic in knowledge around the Atlantic world, linking this knowledge to the social processes fundamental to colonialism, such as travel, trade, ethnography, and slavery.
