Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind Henry Hobhouse See book keywords and concepts

At that date there were only about a hundred undergraduates and two professorships, one in theology, and the other in "Mathematicks and Natural Philosophy," the latter a phrase which in the late eighteenth century encompassed a vast body of knowledge covering such subjects as botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, agriculture, and geology. Yale also insisted on the study of the Bible, and on the Puritan faith; the affairs of this world and the next were well learned.

The Living Energy Universe Gary E. Schwartz and Linda G. S. Russek See book keywords and concepts

Living energy systems in all things, the potential of "PIP," and the creation of energy zoology) If the systemic memory process (the heart and soul of systems) exists, then "ghosts" of everything potentially exist. Theoretically, if all material systems contain info-energy systems, then everything has the potential to be a "ghost." But most ghosts are invisible. This applies even to gravity. Paul Pearsall suggested that "When it comes to believing in ghosts, gravity is right at the top of the list.

Topics range from energy zoology to energy theology. In chapter 13, we consider "what's next?," including the evolution of visionary scientific theories that extend the living energy universe to the loving energy universe. As you will see, there are reasons to hope and to dream. New voyages are being readied. In chapter 14, we return to Linda's question "Is my father still alive?" and consider whether it is scientifically possible to resurrect the reputation of God.

Will we see the birth of Energy zoology in the twenty-first century? As Pearsall explained to us, the first definition of "ghost" in Webster's New Third International Dictionary is "the life principle or vital spark" and "the spirit of man." Ancient Hawaiian kahuna (ka means "to keep" and huna means "secret") taught that everything and everyone is a representation of manna (eternal energy). The universal living memory process can be thought of as a Western theory for the most ancient Polynesian wisdom: everything is and will always be, invisible evolving manna with information.

Handbook of Medicinal Plants Amarjit S. Basra See book keywords and concepts

This book is far more than a pharmaceutical text; it is a branch of natural history including botany, zoology, mineralogy, and metallurgy. Li Shi-Zhen (1552-1578) was a great physician and naturalist. He was born in a physician's family. After three unsuccessful attempts at the higher official examinations, he decided to enter his father's profession. He concentrated on medical studies, and his medical skills soon gained wide recognition among his contemporaries. He wrote a dozen medical works.

Mad in America: Bad Science, Bad Medicine and the Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill Robert Whitaker See book keywords and concepts

Harvard and had taught zoology there, was extremely proud of his WASP heritage. He traced his ancestry back to early settlers in New England and liked to boast that he had been an American "over 300 years," for his "I" was "composed of elements that were brought to this country during the seventeenth century."'2 He was an avid reader of the writings of English eugenicists and on a trip to England dined with Galton.

Paul Sylvester (assistant professor of zoology) commented before the National Institutes of Health that scientists have been focusing upon the wrong form of vitamin E (the tocopherols), which show little protection against bteast cancer. Tocotrienols appear to inhibit proliferation of human bteast cancer cells by as much as 50% (Nesaretnam et al. 1998; Timon Press Release). Results suggest that tocottienols are effective inhibitots of both estrogen receptot-negative and -positive cells and that combinations with tamoxifen should be consideted as a possible improvement in breast cancet thetapy.

Tropical Nature: Life and Death in the Rain Forests of Central and South America Adrian Forsyth and Kenneth Miyata See book keywords and concepts

At the time, he was a graduate student at Harvard's Museum of Comparative zoology. Well versed in evolutionary logic, genetical theory, Ivy League ecology, and the use of biometrical tools, he was also aware that his actual experience with living creatures was "limited to unexciting fruit flies crawling feebly around food-filled glass tubes." Working in the Museum of Comparative zoology had done little to change that.

The Timetables of Science: A Chronology of the Most Important People and Events in the History of Science Alexander Hellemans and Brian Bunch See book keywords and concepts

Botany and zoology became separate disciplines. The main interest in botany was medical, while zoology often played a moral and didactic role, emphasizing fables more than facts. Both sciences incorporated tales and fables of all kinds; famous were the so-called bestiaries, stories describing incredible animals and monsters, usually believed literally by the population. The most accomplished biologist was Alber-tus Magnus, who studied plants all over Germany not just for medical or agricultural reasons, but also for scientific purposes as well.

In his book Nutrition and Evolution, Professor Michael Crawford, Head of the Department of Nutritional Biochemistry at the Nuffield Institute of Comparative Medicine at the Institute of zoology, London, has presented the hypothesis that evolution was driven, not only by random genetic changes, but also by the food supply that was available at the time these changes occurred. I am not surprised that Dr Crawford, interested in animal nutrition, came to this conclusion before most human nutritionists. They have failed to see the connection.

Pliny the Elder (23 or 24-79 AD, killed in Pompeii at the eruption of Vesuvius) was the first to produce a 'cosmography' (a detailed account) of natural history, which included cosmology, mineralogy, botany, zoology and medicinal products derived from plants and animals. Classical Chinese records Written documents about medicinal plants are essential elements of many cultures of Asia. In China, India, lapan and Indonesia, writings pointing to a long tradition of plant use survive.

Everybody's guide to homeopathic medicines Stephen Cummings and Dana Ullman See book keywords and concepts

There have been numerous other experiments in the fields of botany, zoology, bacteriology, and physics that attest to the power of mi-crodoses, including homeopathic potencies more dilute than 12c.8 Double-blind clinical and laboratory studies also have provided evidence that the medicines act even though the dose is infinitesimal. (See the Preface for a short summary of key scientific studies and a bibliography of the best scientific investigations of homeopathy, as well as their references.

Gabriel Horn, emeritus professor of zoology at the University of Cambridge, led a distinguished committee of U.K. experts investigating the origins of BSE. In a July 5, 2001, report, the group concluded that: Rather than switching from a situation where no TSE infectivity passed through the rendering system to one where some infectivity passed through and an epidemic ensued, it could be that a threshold level of infectivity was breached.

Purdey, who declined admission to Exeter University to study zoology and psychology in favor of running a farm, is a passionate environmentalist, drawing direction from Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. He relies on natural ointments to treat his cows' infections, shunning the products of the chemical industry So the then 29-year-old dairyman became quite upset in 1984 when an official from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food showed up on his farm, ordering him to use a class of insecticide called organophosphates.

In the early 1950s, when I was a pharmacy undergraduate, my degree course contained only ten lectures on pharmacology, although the basic sciences of zoology, histology and physiology helped to underpin the emerging pharmacology. At this time, pharmacy undergraduate curricula in the UK were filled to capacity with students facing heavy lecture loads and many hours of laboratory classes. In the 1950s, medical treatments were undergoing considerable changes.

Y-chromosome See sex chromosomes. zoology (zoh-ol-uh-jee) The scientific study and classification of animals. Medicine and Health The human body, along with its structure, function, illnesses, and characteristic behaviors, is only one of a multitude of living organisms in the world. Nevertheless, we have a special interest in it — a fact that is, as we shall see shortly, reflected in our educational system. Like all living things except viruses, the human body is composed of cells. These cells are arranged into tissues, the tissues into organs, and the organs into organ systems.

The classical sciences of descriptive botany and zoology, with their emphasis on classification, are examples of this sort of work. The division of living things into the plant kingdom and animal kingdom (plus three more kingdoms added by modern scientists to describe microscopic organisms and fungi), and the collection of all living things into a coherent classification scheme, are the fruit of this work. During the past century and a half, however, two important discoveries have changed the face of the life sciences.

Lawrence Burton, a Ph.D. in zoology who also had a strong background in cancer research. The IRC in Freeport was opened by Dr. Burton in 1977, where he acted as director until his death in March of 1996. Since then, the center has been headed by Dr. John Clement, a British physician who is an internationally respected cancer specialist and who studied with Dr. Burton. In 1983, Curry Hutchinson was one of Dr. Burton's patients.

Friedman, also with a Ph.D. in zoology, repeat the experiment at the ACS's 1966 Science Writers Seminar. The two doctors, in the presence of 70 scientists and 200 science writers, injected mice having mammary cancer with the serum they had isolated during their research. An hour and a half later, the tumors had disappeared almost completely. The next day, the results of these experiments received front-page coverage throughout the world. The Los Angeles Herald Examiner's headline read "Fifteen Minute Cancer Cure for Mice: Humans Next?" Unfortunately, this enthusiastic publicity backfired.

In the case of Barry Fell, his degree was in zoology, not ancient languages. On the other hand, we can't automatically dismiss scholars with expertise in several unrelated fields, even in this day of super-specialists. Part of the problem involved in all of this is the dependency on the expertise of others to provide the truth for you: an understandable situation when you have your own life to lead and don't have personal command of a dozen ancient languages. I, for example, am not an expert on Celtic runes, so it's difficult for me to analyze those kinds of inscriptions with any authority.

Our judges were four distinguished scientists: Professor Martin Rees, director of the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge; Dr Alan Gauld of the Department of Psychology of the University of Nottingham; Professor Steven Rose of the School of Biological Sciences at the Open University; and Dr Peter Davies of the Department of zoology, University of Nottingham. They liked the elegance of Dr Gentle's idea, and the fact that it required no great resources. Any interested person (a school-teacher?) could carry it out. However, critics have already refined Dr Gentle's idea.

The Body Electric: Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life Robert Becker, M.D., and Gary Selden See book keywords and concepts

Each issue reports on all fields from astronomy to zoology, so publication means a paper has more than a specialized significance. Mine was accepted, and I was jubilant. With three major papers in three major journals after my first year of research, I felt I'd arrived. The world has a way of cutting you down to size, however, and in the science game the method is known as citation. No matter how important your paper is, it doesn't mean anything unless it's cited as a reference in new papers by others and you get a respectable number of requests for reprints. On both counts, I was a failure.

At this point I received an invitation from Meryl Rose to speak at the big event in the world of animal science, the International Congress of zoology. This is not just a yearly convention; it is convened only when its directors agree rhat there has been enough progress to warrant a meeting. This session, in August 1963, was only the sixteenth since the first one had been set up in 1889.

The Cancer Industry Ralph W. Moss, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts

New York University. This was a proper degree for the kind of research he was trained to perform. But some in the media used this fact to sow confusion in the public mind about zoology—linking it to zoos and veterinary science. Burton became hostile to all reporters, including those who had previously been friendly to him. One of those present when the clinic was closed was Frank Wiewel, a 35-year-old recording engineer from Otho, Iowa. That mild description hardly does justice to his forceful personality.
