This richly illustrated book provides an in-depth natural history of the most poisonous plants on earth, covering everything from the lethal effects of hemlock and deadly nightshade to the uses of such plants in medicine, ritual, and chemical warfare.
Featuring hundreds of color photos and diagrams throughout, Plants That Kill explains how certain plants evolved toxicity to deter herbivores and other threats and sheds light on their physiology and the biochemistry involved in the production of their toxins. It discusses the interactions of poisonous plants with other organisms--particularly humans--and explores the various ways plant toxins can target the normal functioning of bodily systems in mammals, from the effects of wolfsbane on the heart to toxins that cause a skin reaction when combined with the sun's rays. This intriguing book also looks at plants that can harm you only if your exposure to them is prolonged, the ethnobotany of poisons throughout human history, and much more.
A must for experts and armchair botanists alike, Plants That Kill is the essential illustrated compendium to these deadly and intriguing plants.

Описание: Towards a New Ethnohistory engages respectfully in cross-cultural dialogue and interdisciplinary methods to co-create with Indigenous people a new, decolonized ethnohistory. This New Ethnohistory reflects Indigenous ways of knowing and is a direct response to critiques of scholars who have for too long foisted their own research agendas onto Indigenous communities.Community-engaged scholarship invites members of the Indigenous community themselves to identify the research questions, host the researchers while they conduct the research, and participate meaningfullyin the analysis of the researchers’ findings. The historical research topics chosen by the St?:l? community leaders and knowledge keepers for the contributors to this collection range from the intimate and personal, to the broad and collective. But what principally distinguishes the analyses is the way settler colonialism is positioned as something that unfolds in sometimes unexpected ways within St?:l? history,as opposed to the other way around.This collection presents the best work to come out of the world’s only graduate-level humanities-based ethnohistory fieldschool. The blending of methodologies and approaches from the humanities and social sciences is a model of twenty-first century interdisciplinarity.

Our Father in heaven. pause for a moment and ponder these words. Better yet, make them personal, "my Father in heaven". Let that phrase simmer in your mind for a while until it finds its way to your heart. What is our Heavenly Father like? What does He mean to you personally, and why does it matter? The exploration of these simple, yet profound questions forms the essence of this book.
Our perception of God as Father is most certainly affected by our relationship with our earthly fathers. This can be positive or problematic depending on whether or not our earthy fathers reflected God's character and nature. Living with a damaged or distorted view of God as our loving Heavenly Father robs us of the true joy, confidence and intimacy purchased for us by Christ Jesus. If we are to walk in all that God has for us, this central truth must lie as the bedrock of our faith: God is our loving Father
Through this book you will be introduced to stories of Becky's (Becky Misar, co-author) relationship with her dad, Denver Jones. These "parables" powerfully illustrate what God is like as our Father. Though Denver was not a perfect dad, he was a godly man who loved his children well. His life glorified God and will give context to the "father stories" you are about to read.
