Book excerpt: Traditions In Western Herbalism Essays & Class NotesArticles by 24 of The Most Respected Herbalists TodayCompiled by Jesse Wolf & Kiva Rose HardinPresenting 366 pages of essential Information & Skills for the students and practitioners of herbalism, drawn from the proceedings books of esteemed Plant Healer Events: The Traditions in Western Herbalism Conference, The Herbal Resurgence Rendezvous, and HerbFolk Gatherings. This exciting compilation is organized into 4 sections: Herbal Practice, Clinical Skills and Therapeutics, Herbs and Actions, and Food, Wildcrafting, Self-Care & Sense of Place.The contributors are 24 of the most exciting and esteemed herbalist teachers of our time, including including: Matthew Wood, Christa Sinadinos, Ryan Drum, Kathleen Maier, Paul Bergner, 7Song, Jim McDonald, Bevin Clare, David Hoffmann, Juliet Blankespoor, and Lisa Ganora.From Jesse Wolf Hardin's introduction:“Plant medicine has been a part of human culture and purpose for as long as we have existed. Healing ourselves, our families and communities naturally was and remains a very important skill, requiring much study and practice in order to be truly effective. But as herbalist elders David Hoffman, Paul Bergner and others have noted, there have been a number of periods of contraction and marginalization, including in the first part of the 21st Century. Paul explains how there was becoming less stress on clinical knowledge and critical thinking, and an unhealthy lack of push against the prevailing commercialization and regulation of this age. To help counter these trends, my partner Kiva Rose and I determined to launch an annual event for herbal students, teachers, cultivators, practitioners, activists and free-clinic herbalists that would be unlike any other of the wonderful conference of the past, one that would attract folks who had felt peripheral or sidelined including culture-changing instructors and shy beginners, kitchen witches, concerned parents and kids with attitude, back-to-the-landers, urban street medics, conservationists, folk herbalists from indigenous traditions, and self proclaimed outlaws, misfits and visionaries. We gathered a tribe of some of the very best herbalist teachers, who for five years in a row delivered a balance of clinical skills, the latest plant knowledge, herbal history, folklore, inspiration and camaraderie. This immensely rich and rewarding book is the product of these exemplary teachers sharing what they know. Together, they represent hundreds of years of combined experience working with clients and plants, studying the latest literature and comparing research results. Each offers a unique set of skills and understandings, presented in their own personal and personable ways, and we invite you to turn to the back of this book to check out their courses, publications and medicines.Traditions In Western Herbalism's in-depth essays and detailed class notes from Plant Healer's cherished conferences and gatherings are certain to help equip you, empowering you with some of what you need to know to more effectively care for your own health and that of others.If you enjoy this book, you may also be interested in checking out the related titles on Amazon: The Plant Healer's Path, The Enchanted Healer, The Healing Terrain, and the novel for herbalists The Medicine Bear.www.PlantHealer.org

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulse Evaluation is a pacesetter in the field of herbal and holistic medicine. It sheds new light on herbalism, holistic evaluation, and the age-old art of pulse-reading. "This is a monumental work, and an amazing contribution to our literature. I am always and adamantly of the mind that one's personal experience is of paramount importance, so there was a lot that I would not dream of contesting in your work. As you rightly state, nothing means anything divorced from the context of the patient's whole gestalt. There are many qualities you describe that I will be looking for in the future, or have felt and will reconsider the interpretation. Time will confirm or correct the three of you as the conversation unfolds. I am very pleased to meet Dr. Floyer and invite others to do the same." Brandt Stickley, L. Ac. Assistant Professor of Classical Chinese Medicine, National College of Naturopathic Medicine

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Practice of Traditional Western Herbalism places the function of western herbs in their true historical context, apart from homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, and Ayurveda. Recently there has been a revival of interest in western herbalism, but practitioners haven't been able to explore its benefits due to a void of information on the topic—the system of medicine the herbs fit into had all but disappeared. To remedy the situation, herbalist Matthew Wood has researched the old-time practices and reconstructed them for modern use. In resuscitating western herbal medicine and bringing it up to date, he gives his readers a powerful tool for holistic theory and treatment. Wood makes the point that plant medicines, because they are made from a broad range of chemical components, are naturally suited for the treatment of general patterns in the body. He argues against the biomedical model of standardization, in which herbs are refined and advertised as if they were drugs suited to an exact disease or condition.

Book excerpt: Drawing on the writings of Nicholas Culpeper, the 17th-century herbalist, apothecary and astrologer, this updated, accessible introduction celebrates the holistic medical traditions of the West, and places Culpeper in his appropriate context as one of the forebears of modern holistic medicine and a prophet of the NHS. An extensive new introduction to the work comments on the latest research and developments in the area. The book traces the development of the Western holistic medical tradition from its origins in the natural philosophy of Ancient Greece to the work of Culpeper himself. It describes and explains the relationship between the four elements, the four humours and the four constitutional types: sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic, as well as explaining the functional relationships of organs and body systems. The book explores the interconnectedness of psyche (mind) and soma (body) and includes a section on herbal medicine and therapeutics with a study of 20 common herbs, dietary suggestions and uses for culinary herbs. It also provides accessible information on astrology and the importance of the horoscope for holistic patient assessment. The book looks at the holistic approach to the preservation of health and prevention of disease, with explanations of the various disease states, their humoral medical diagnosis and treatment. An authoritative insight into the expanding world of holistic medicine, this book is an indispensable resource for medical herbalists, students of herbal medicine and all those interested in Western holistic medicine and its origins.

Hardin tackles topics vital to an effective, empowered herbal practice, including many never addressed before, with suggestions for taking control of and enjoying our lives, and tips that can benefit herbalists and non-herbalists alike. Paul Bergner says“Whether just beginning or already walking the path, The Plant Healer's Path provides a panoramic road map of the terrain – both internal and external – for any person called to healing with plants... with thought-provoking essays on the issues most important to our work,” and Phyllis Light writes that this book “does more than provide a working model of herbal practice, it also addresses our hopes, our fears and concerns as herbalists, acknowledging the differences, the uniqueness that each brings to their art, craft and science. What more could we ask for?”

This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believing that the intellectual enterprise called philosophy is essentially a part of the cultural as well as historical experience of a people, that the concepts and problems that occupy the attention of philosophers placed in different cultural spaces or historical times generally derive directly from those spaces and times, and that philosophy, in turn, has been most relevant to the development of human cultures, the Ghanaian philosopher Kwame Gyekye gives reflective attention in this book to some of the concepts and problems that in his view feature most prominently in the contemporary African cultural, social, political, and moral experience. Such concepts and problems include the following: political legitimacy, development, culture and the pursuit of science and technology, political corruption, democracy, representation and the politics of inclusion, the status of cultural values in national orientation, understanding globalization, and others. It is these topics that are covered in the essays collected in this book. The unrelenting pursuit of the speculative activity by the philosopher in most cases eventuates in normative proposals; these normative proposals often embody a vision-a vision of an ideal human society in terms of its values, politics, and culture. Vision, understood here, has human-not supernatural or divine-origination and involvement and requires action by human beings in order for it to come into reality. A vision may derive from sustained critical evaluation of a culture or some elements of it. Gyekye attempts an articulation of the visions of the essays contained in the book. Even though philosophical ideas and concerns are originally inspired by and worked out in a cultural milieu, it does not necessarily follow, Gyekye strongly believes, that the relevance of those ideas and insights is to be tetheed to the cultures that produced them. For, more often than not, the relevance of those ideas, or at least some of them, transcends the confines of their own times and cultures and can be appreciated by other societies, or cultures, or generational epochs. This trans-cultural or trans-epochal or meta-contextual appeal or attraction of philosophical ideas and insights spawned by a particular culture or cluster of cultures or in specific historical times is to be put down to our common human nature-including our basic human desires and aspirations. Thus, most of the essays published here should be of interest to the global community-i.e., to cultures and societies beyond the African.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeffrey R. Kerr-Ritchie's Freedom's Seekers offers a bold and innovative intervention into the study of emancipation as a transnational phe-nomenon and serves as an important contribution to our understanding of the remaking of the nineteenth-century Atlantic Americas. Drawing on decades of research into slave and emancipation societies, Kerr-Ritchie is attentive to those who sought but were not granted freedom, and those who resisted enslavement individually as well as collectively on behalf of their communities. He explores the many roles that fugitive slaves, slave soldiers, and slave rebels played in their own societies. He likewise explicates the lives of individual freedmen, freedwomen, and freed children to show how the first free-born generation helped to shape the terms and conditions of the post-slavery world. Freedom's Seekers is a signal contribution to African Diaspora studies, especially in its rigorous respect for the agency of those who sought and then fought for their freedom, and its consistent attention to the transnational dimensions of emancipation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern folklife is the heart of southern culture. Looking at traditional practices still carried on today as well as at aspects of folklife that are dynamic and emergent, contributors to this volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture examine a broad range of folk traditions. Moving beyond the traditional view of folklore that situates it in historical practice and narrowly defined genres, entries in this volume demonstrate how folklife remains a vital part of communities' self-definitions. Fifty thematic entries address subjects such as car culture, funerals, hip-hop, and powwows. In 56 topical entries, contributors focus on more specific elements of folklife, such as roadside memorials, collegiate stepping, quinceanera celebrations, New Orleans marching bands, and hunting dogs. Together, the entries demonstrate that southern folklife is dynamically alive and everywhere around us, giving meaning to the everyday unfolding of community life.
