Las plantas tienen una función esencial en la continuidad de la vida sobre la tierra: aseguran la producción y renovación de oxígeno necesario para la vida animal; son imprescindibles para la alimentación de los seres vivos; y contienen principios medicinales activos que muchos animales utilizan por instinto, y que el hombre ha aprendido a emplear. Este libro contiene todos los datos comprobados en laboratorio sobre plantas medicinales, un inmenso caudal de información sobre sus virtudes y las posibilidades terapéuticas que permiten su utilización. ¿Es cierto que la salvia es un excelente regulador del sistema nervioso? ¿O que la milenrama es un magnífico tónico digestivo? El poder antirreumático del laurel. ¿Sabía que el romero mejora las funciones del sistema circulatorio? ¿Y que el lino tiene propiedades refrescantes, diuréticas y es muy recomendable para las inflamaciones internas? El poder depurador de la achicoria para desintoxicar órganos esenciales de nuestro cuerpo. La menta, un elemento natural ideal para combatir problemas de respiración,digestivos o cutáneos. "Un libro con numerosas y detalladas ilustraciones que ofrece una valiosa información sobre la historia, evolución y clasificación de las distintas plantas, así como las propiedades curativas de cada una de ellas." Tener en casa un buen botiquín con preparados a base de plantas medicinales resulta indispensable para afrontar cualquier problema de salud de una manera natural, sin molestos efectos secundarios. Así lo atestiguan los numerosos testimonios recogidos desde las más antiguas civilizaciones hasta nuestros días. En imperios como el egipcio, el chino o el romano ya se acudía a la sabiduría de las plantas medicinales para el tratamiento de los enfermos.

Biodiversity research and prospecting are long-standing activities taking place in a new legal and ethical environment. Following entry into force of the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1993, and other recent policy developments, expectations and obligations for research and prospecting partnerships have changed. However, to date there are few guides to integrating these concepts with practice. This book offers practical guidance on how to arrive at equitable biodiversity research and prospecting partnerships. Drawing on experience and lessons learned from around the world, it provides case studies, analysis and recommendations in a range of areas that together form a new framework for creating equity in these partnerships. They include researcher codes of ethics, institutional policies, community research agreements, the design of more effective commercial partnerships and biodiversity prospecting contracts, the drafting and implementation of national 'access and benefit-sharing' laws, and institutional tools for the distribution of financial benefits. As part of the People and Plants initiative to enhance the role of communities in efforts to conserve biodiversity and use natural resources sustainably, Biodiversity and Traditional Knowledge will be invaluable to students, researchers and local communities, academic institutions, international agencies, government bodies and companies involved in biodiversity research, prospecting and conservation.
