Pharmacognosy, the science of nature-derived drugs, pharmaceuticals, and poisons, played a crucial role in the development of modern medicine, and now has an equally important place in healthcare all over the world. This wide scope ranges from traditional medicine systems and herbal and nutritional therapies, the preparation and use of highly standardised and clinically tested herbal medicines, to the production of potent drugs used only in a purified form. Natural sources mainly focus on plants, fungi and algae, but drug discovery of novel compounds and structures includes bacteria and even marine animals. Fundamentals of Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy is a landmark textbook that covers this spectrum of medicinal plant use. Written by leading experts in this field, this book takes the reader through the history, identification, and quality assurance of plant-based medicines to their therapeutic properties, safety, and compatibility and interaction with prescribed drugs. Aimed at students of all healthcare professions, including pharmacy, medicine, nursing and complementary therapies, the comprehensively updated information in this textbook is also relevant to those companies and organisations concerned with the regulation and testing of herbal medicines (phytomedicines), other natural health products, nutraceuticals and dietary supplements.

With the recent revival of Karl Marx's theory, a general interest in reading Capital has also increased. But Capital - Marx's foundational nineteenth century work on political economy - is by no means considered an easily understood text. Central concepts such as abstract labor, the value form, or the fetishism of commodities, can seem opaque

First-year students of architecture are confronted with a wealth of different ways in which to present their designs: How to construct a perspective freehand drawing? What scale should a model be? This title combines the volumes Technical Drawing, CAD, Modelbuilding, Architectural Photography, and Freehand Drawing.

Architekturstudenten sind zu Beginn des Studiums mit einer Fülle von visuellen Darstellungsmöglichkeiten ihrer Entwürfe konfrontiert. Der Ausdruck von Ideen in Zeichnung und Modell wird zu Studienbeginn meist vorausgesetzt: "Learning-by-doing" ist der einzige Weg der Studierenden, um sich schnell ein Repertoire für ihre Entwurfsarbeit zu erarbeiten.Doch beim Schritt von der räumlichen Vorstellung zur zwei- oder dreidimensionalen Zeichnung oder gar dem haptischen Modell müssen wichtige Fragen beantwortet werden: Wie baue ich eine perspektivische Freihandzeichnung auf? Welche Planzeichnungen sind für die Darstellung des Entwurfs notwendig? In welchem Maßstab und mit welchen Materialien baue ich mein Modell? Basics Architekturdarstellung vereint die überaus erfolgreichen Einzelbände Technisches Zeichnen, Detailzeichnen, Freihandzeichnen, CAD, Modellbau und Architekturfotografie der Studentenreihe BASICS in einem Band. Schritt für Schritt vermittelt es so die Darstellung von Architekturprojekten in allen Projektphasen: von der Freihandzeichnung, die besonders in der Entwurfsphase wichtig ist, über die Planzeichnung und den Modellbau bis hin zur Architekturfotografie werden die Grundlagen der Architekturdarstellung didaktisch und praxisnah vermittelt. Der werdende Architekt erlernt so das notwendige Handwerkszeug zur Präsentation seiner Arbeiten, unterstützt durch viele anschauliche Beispiele und praktische Tipps, die das Gelernte unmittelbar anwendbar machen.
