Dr. v. Oefele states of pharmacy before the time of Hippocrates, that although the practice of medicine was not separated from pharmacy among the Greeks and Romans, there was such a separation among the ancient Egyptians, from whom the distinction was handed down to the Copts, and by them to the Arabians; and, in fact, that the term pharmacist is probably of Egyptian origin, being derived from Ph-ar-maki, which signifies the preparation of medicine from drugs. The Egyptian pharmaki who were engaged in that occupation belonged to the higher social ranks of writers or academically-educated persons, comprising also the priests, physicians, statesmen, and military commanders. The Jews were indebted to Egypt for their primary ideas of medicine, but they cast away the ideas of demonology and magic which clouded what was good in the practice of Egypt. The Talmud recommends onions for worms, and wine, pepper, and asafœtida for flatulency. The Talmudists are responsible for calling the earth, air, fire, and water elementary bodies. In the middle ages the Jews rendered service to the healing art, and had a large share in the scientific work connected with the Arab domination of Spain. In China the use of drugs goes back to a very remote age, and alchemy was practised by the Chinese long previous to its being known in Europe. For two centuries prior to the Christian era, and for four or more subsequent, the transmutation of the base metals into gold, and the composition of the elixir of immortality, were questions ardently studied by the Chinese.Show book
Colonialism: A Global History interprets colonialism as an unequal relationship characterized by displacement and domination and reveals the ways in which this relationship has been constitutive of global modernity. The volume focuses on colonialism's dynamism, adaptability, and resilience. It appraises a number of successive global colonial 'waves', each constituting a specific form of colonial domination, each different from the previous ones, each affecting different locales at different times, and each characterized by a particular method of exploiting colonized populations and territories. Outlining a succession of distinct colonizing conjunctures, and the ways in which they 'washed over' what is today understood as the 'Global South', shaping and reshaping institutions and prompting diverse responses from colonized communities, Colonialism: A Global History also outlines the contemporary relevance of this unequal relation. Overall, it provides an original definition of colonialism and tells the global history of this mode of domination’s evolution and reach. The broad chronological and geographical scope makes this volume the ideal resource for all students and scholars interested in globalization, colonialism, and empire.Show book

Is sexual sin sabotaging your best life? (Is sexual sin sabotaging your quest for love?) Who ever imagined that sexually transmitted disease would be on the rise in the 21st century? That as teen pregnancies declined, pregnancies of unmarried women would increase? That 20th century shock at a leader’s hidden sexual sin would dissolve into 21st century indifference about a leader’s public bragging? This update of Nora Fozard’s Christian classic about the secrets of sex and marriage examines the root causes of sexual sin and offers practical solutions from the Bible for women, men, and church leaders. It recommends specific steps regain to regain the Godly intimacy lost in marriages to the sexual sins of pornography, lust, fornication, and adultery. It guides parents with tools for leading their children to healthy, Godly ways of relating, and encourages unmarried people, from teens to senior adults, to experience the dignity of God’s way of living. Each chapter includes specific challenges for women, men, and the Christian church. Nora speaks directly to married people tempted to sin as well as those unmarried struggling to overcome lust and be faithful to God. Powerful examples from more than 40 years of ministry reveal the consequences sexual sin has had in the lives of people from teenagers to senior citizens. And equally powerful examples from her own life show how these Bible principles work when they’re put to the text. Sexual sin traumatizes children. It undermines church and community leadership. It undermines the happy, healthy families we all want. Learn to enjoy the happy, healthy families and relationships we all want. Here’s strength to resist sexual sin!Show book
