Questo libro offre una presentazione articolata ed esauriente della medicina cinese, in cui hanno pari rilievo e si integrano reciprocamente tanto il contesto filosofico e culturale da cui essa trae origine, quanto le tecniche diagnostiche e il sistema terapeutico in cui si è organizzata. Proprio sottolineando lo 'spirito filosofico' della medicina cinese, l'autore procede nell'esposizione delle sue peculiari caratteristiche, a partire dal tema centrale della malattia come 'quadro di disarmonia'. Il libro espone fondamenti e metodo della medicina cinese, che si sviluppa parallelamente a quella occidentale, l'autore in modo implicito propone un confronto.

In the ancient tradition of Chinese medicine, illness is a disharmony of the whole body. The aim is to restore harmony through herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion and the diagnostic skills of the physician. The governing principle is to balance Yin and Yang and to restore the interconnections between all aspects of the organism. This remarkable book explains the theory and practice of Chinese medicine. More than that, it mixes the most up-to-date knowledge of the oriental approach to healing with cutting-edge scientific research. \n\n'While the book's rich detail makes it of great use to practising healers, it is in its entirety very simply written, enjoyable reading for the layman... An instructive, profound and important work.' Professor Martin Schwartz, University of California, Berkeley

Discover the extraordinary role of plants in modern forensics, from their use as evidence in the trials of high profile murderers such as Ted Bundy to high value botanical trafficking and poaching. \n\nWe are all familliar with the role of blood spatters or fingerprints in solving crimes, from stories in the media of DNA testing or other biological evidence being used as the clinching evidence to incriminate a killer. This book lifts the lid on the equally important evidence from plants at a crime scene, from the incriminating presence of freshwater plants in the lungs of a drowning victim, to rare botanical poisons in the evening gin and tonic, to exotic trafficked flowers and drugs. \n\nIn Planting Clues, David Gibson explores how plants can help to solve crimes, as well as how plant crimes are themselves solved. He discusses the botanical evidence that proved important in bringing a number of high-profile murderers such as Ian Huntley (the 2002 Shoham Murders), and Bruno Hauptman (the 1932 Baby Lindbergh kidnapping) to trial, from leaf fragments and wood anatomy to pollen and spores. Throughout he traces the evolution of forensic botany, and shares the fascinating stories that advanced its progress.

“Cluedo botanico” ci conduce a scoprire l’utilizzo più impensabile di foglie, funghi e alghe: risolvere crimini. Un viaggio tra biologia e criminologia, botanica e scienze forensi al cui termine non guarderemo più le piante del nostro terrazzo allo stesso modo. Quando nel 1978 Ted Bundy, uno dei più famigerati serial killer della storia, fu fermato per un’infrazione stradale non poteva certo immaginare che a farlo arrestare sarebbero state la terra e le foglie presenti nel retro del suo furgone, lo stesso tipo di quelle trovate sulla scena dell’omicidio di Kimberly Leach. Nel 1987 furono dei frammenti di muschio a collegare il sergente Charles Ashley al luogo dove aveva ucciso Melinda Buchanan. Nel 2010 sono stati invece i residui sul corpo della vittima di un raro ligustro cinese, presente nel giardino di Jamie Saffran, a incastrarlo come assassino. Questi sono solo alcuni dei numerosi casi che David J. Gibson passa in rassegna per mostrarci come lo studio dei vegetali e delle tracce da loro lasciate sia diventato sempre più centrale nell'esame delle scene del crimine. Alternando dati scientifici e cronache giudiziarie, “Cluedo botanico” ci rivela come i funghi possano essere usati per stabilire l'ora della morte, le spore per indicare la distanza spaziale o temporale tra due eventi, la presenza di alghe nei polmoni di un cadavere per comprendere se il decesso sia avvenuto per annegamento; ma anche come i fiori possano essere impiegati per produrre veleni letali o l'analisi delle fibre del legno possa portare a una sentenza di colpevolezza, come avvenne per esempio nel celebre caso del rapimento Lindbergh. Quello di Gibson è un invito a osservare il mondo delle piante da una nuova prospettiva, meno innocente e secondaria: ad avvicinarci a esse per guardare meglio là dove il verde si tinge di rosso.

Founded in 1961 as Euravia by British businessman Ted Langton and aviation consultant J.E.D. Walker, at a time of considerable turmoil for the independent sector of the British air operators' industry, Britannia Airways went on to become the world's largest holiday airline.\n\nJust as Court Line evolved from Autair, so Britannia Airways evolved from Euravia. Both UK airlines had strong links with the travel industry; Court Line with Clarksons Holidays, and Britannia with the Thomson Group, in particular the Sky Tours' brand. Both were innovative in their own ways, and both grabbed the UK travel industry by the scruff of the neck and shook it into the jet age - Court line travelling down the brasher cheap-and-cheerful road, while Britannia took the more staid, upmarket route.\n\nBy 1972, Britannia had developed to such a degree that it was the biggest of the British independent charter airlines. It was also a ground-breaking operation - during the late 1960s, it became the first charter airline to offer assigned seating, as well as hot in-flight meals. Prior to the mid-1970s, Britannia, much like other British carter airlines of the era, had concentrated upon low-cost flights to Spain and the use of provincial airports to provide its services. The company's management, however, harboured ambitions to grow beyond this. As a result, for example, Britannia's 767s began regular charter flights between Britain and Australia in 1988, a route to New Zealand being added the following year.\n\nBetween 1968 and 1984, Britannia carried nearly forty-two million passengers, while the company's fleet grew to include twenty-nine Boeing 737s and a pair of 767s. Drawing on the author's in-depth research and knowledge, as well as first-hand interviews with individuals such as Ted Langton, the original tour operator who wanted his own airline, and Jed Williams, who created Britannia, this the full story of one of the most important airlines in the history of civil aviation.
