Hardback. Condition: New. A millennium after his life, Avicenna remains one of the most highly regarded physicians of all time. His Canon of Medicine, also known as the Qanun, is one of the most famous and influential books in the history of medicine, forming the basis for our modern understanding of human health and disease. It focused not simply on the treatment of symptoms, but on finding the cause of illness through humoral diagnosis-a method still used in traditional Unani and Ayurvedic medicines in India. Originally written in Arabic, Avicenna's Canonwas long ago translated into Latin, Persian, and Urdu, yet many of the inaccuracies from those first translations linger in current English translations. Translated directly from the original Arabic, this volume includes detailed commentary to explain current biomedical interpretations of Avicenna's theories and ways to apply his treatments today, particularly for individualized medicine. It shows how Avicenna's understanding of the humors corresponds directly with the biomedical definition of proteins, lipids, and organic acids: the nutrient building blocks of our blood and body. With this new translation of the first volume of his monumental work, Avicenna's Canonbecomes just as relevant today as it was 1,000 years ago.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A SMITHSONIAN BOOKThe first installment of a spectacular new series by Joy Hakim, author of the bestselling A History of US, who has been called the J.K. Rowling of nonfiction. Aristotle Leads the Way focusses on the evolution of astronomy, math, and physics and begins with the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians, who invented a calendar and tools for building and measuring, and the ancient Greeks, whose quest for knowledge drove them not only to describe the natural world but to ask why things are as they are. Hakim explores the lives and ideas of such famous people as Pythagoras, who kept his numbers secret from all but the initiated, Archimedes, who kept the Romans at bay with his war machines, and then, while taking a bath solved a major scientific problem involving pressure and volume. She writes about the remarkable city of Alexandria and its steam-powered vehicles; the Hindu and Arab mathematicians who gave us the idea of zero and our number system; Ptolemy, who mapped and classified world knowledge; and St. Augustine and St. thomas Aquinas, who tried to reconcile their faith with reason. But it is Aristotle who dominates science in this book and before the modern era. His philosophy emphasized observation over cogitation and eventually led to experimentation. Aristotle asked questions and then examined existing objects. Hakim explores his encyclopaedic interest in everything he could find in nature and his monumental achievement in constructing a grand theory that attempted to explain and classify everything known. In the first book of her three part series, Hakim invites readers of all ages to meet the forebears of modern science and share in their exciting discoveries in astronomy, math, and physics.
