Sciences of the Ancient Hindus: Unlocking Nature in the

Modern science and medicine would be unrecognizable,and far more primitive,without the immense contribution of the ancient Hindus. They invented everyday essentials such as our base-ten number system and zero as a numeral. The ancient Hindus also developed a sophisticated system of medicine with its mind-body approach known as Ayurveda; detailed anatomical and surgical knowledge of the human body,including cataract surgery and the so-called plastic surgery; metallurgical methods of extraction and purif

Chicle: The Chewing Gum of the Americas, from the Ancient

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mathews, Jennifer P. / Schultz, Gillian P., PUBLISHER: University of Arizona Press, Although Juicy FruitA(R) gum was introduced to North Americans in , Native Americans in Mesoamerica were chewing gum thousands of years earlier. And although in the last decade abiographiesa have been devoted to salt, spices, chocolate, coffee, and other staples of modern life, until now there has never been a full history of chewing gum. Chicle is a history in four acts, all of them focused on the sticky white substance that seeps from the sapodilla tree when its bark is cut. First, Jennifer Mathews recounts the story of chicle and its earliest-known adherents, the Maya and Aztecs. Second, with the assistance of botanist Gillian Schultz, Mathews examines the sapodilla tree itself, an extraordinarily hardy plant that is native only to Mesoamerica and the Caribbean. Third, Mathews presents the fascinating story of the chicle and chewing gum industry over the last hundred plus years, a tale (like so many twentieth-century tales) of greed, growth, and collapse. In closing, Mathews considers the plight of the chicleros, the aextractorsa who often work by themselves tapping trees deep in the forests, and how they have emerged as icons of local pop cultureaportrayed as fearless, hard-drinking brawlers, people to be respected as well as feared. Before DentyneA(R) and ChicletsA(R), before bubble gum comic strips and the DoublemintA(R) twins, there was gum, oozing from jungle trees like melting candle wax under the slash of a machete. Chicle tells us everything that happened next. It is a spellbinding story.

The Form of Cities: Political Economy and Urban Design

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cuthbert, Alexander, PUBLISHER: Blackwell Publishers, "The Form of Cities "offers readers a considered theoretical introduction to the art of designing cities.
