Beschreibung

"Indigenous Medicine" unveils the often-overlooked contributions of African traditional medicine to modern healthcare. This exploration spans from herbal remedies and spiritual healing to the profound indigenous knowledge shaping contemporary medical advancements. The book highlights how practices, like those of traditional healers, have influenced pharmacological developments and continue to offer holistic healthcare perspectives. For example, many modern drugs have roots in indigenous plants, showcasing the tangible impact of ethnobotanical knowledge.

 
The book systematically progresses, beginning with the historical and cultural context before delving into herbal remedies and spiritual practices. It examines case studies of indigenous plants that have informed modern pharmaceuticals, and explores ethical considerations in preserving traditional knowledge.

 
The book emphasizes the intellectual contributions of African healers, moving beyond a mere catalog of remedies to explore the philosophies and knowledge systems underpinning these practices. This approach challenges Eurocentric views of medicine, promoting a deeper appreciation for African medical traditions and their ongoing relevance.

    Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
     
     
     
    In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
     
     
     
    From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
     
     
     
    ● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
     
     
     
    ● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
     
     
     
    ● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
     
     
     
    This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.
