Synopsis

Aulus Cornelius Celsus's "De Medicina" presents a comprehensive treatise on the medical knowledge of the first century CE, encapsulating the intellectual vigor of Roman medicine. This eight-volume work meticulously details various aspects of medical theory and practice, including diagnostics, surgical procedures, and pharmacology. Celsus's literary style embodies a blend of empirical observation and philosophical discourse, showcasing a systematic method that underscores the significance of reliable information in the pragmatic context of health care. His meticulous organization and clarity enable readers to navigate complex medical concepts, firmly situating his work within both Roman literature and the broader Hellenistic scientific tradition. Celsus, a Roman scholar whose life spanned the transition from the Republic to the Empire, was guided by a profound commitment to knowledge and practicality in the medical field. His diverse interests, which included philosophy and agriculture, alongside his extensive studies in Greek medical texts, provided him with a unique perspective. This rich background influenced his desire to synthesize existing medical knowledge, rendering it accessible not only to practitioners of his time but also to posterity. "De Medicina" is a crucial text for anyone interested in the history of medicine, offering invaluable insights into ancient medical practices and theories. Scholars, practitioners, and general readers alike will find this work both enlightening and practical, serving as a profound bridge between ancient scholarship and the continuing evolution of medical literature.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE AND THE HESSELL-TILTMAN PRIZEA journey told through stories and songs into Doggerland, the ancient region that once joined the east coast of England to Holland. Time Song tells of the creation, the existence and the loss of a country now called Doggerland, a huge and fertile area that once connected the entire east coast of England with mainland Europe, until it was finally submerged by rising sea levels around 5000 BC.  Blackburn mixes fragments from her own life with a series of eighteen 'songs' and all sorts of stories about the places and the people she meets in her quest to get closer to an understanding of Doggerland. She sees the footprints of early humans fossilised in the soft mud of an estuary alongside the scattered pockmarks made by rain falling eight thousand years ago. She visits a cave where the remnants of a Neanderthal meal have turned to stone. In Denmark she sits beside Tollund Man who seems to be about to wake from a dream, even though he has lain in a peat bog since the start of the Iron Age.

Saving Animals Saving Ourselves - Why Animals Matter for Pandemics Climate Change and other Catastrophes - cover

Saving Animals Saving Ourselves...

In 2020, COVID-19, the Australia bushfires, and other global threats served as vivid reminders that human and nonhuman fates are increasingly linked. Human use of nonhuman animals contributes to pandemics, climate change, and other global threats which, in turn, contribute to biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and nonhuman suffering. 
 
 
 
Jeff Sebo argues that humans have a moral responsibility to include animals in global health and environmental policy. In particular, we should reduce our use of animals as part of our pandemic and climate change mitigation efforts and increase our support for animals as part of our adaptation efforts. Applying and extending frameworks such as One Health and the Green New Deal, Sebo calls for reducing support for factory farming, deforestation, and the wildlife trade; increasing support for humane, healthful, and sustainable alternatives; and considering human and nonhuman needs holistically. Sebo also considers connections with practical issues such as education, employment, social services, and infrastructure, as well as with theoretical issues such as well-being, moral status, political status, and population ethics.
