Und das Fahrzeug, das dem Arkoniden die Möglichkeit der Fortbewegung im All bietet, ist die STERNSCHNUPPE. Und der neue Begleiter des Arkoniden ist Chipol, der junge Daila. In den sieben Monaten, die inzwischen verstrichen sind, haben die beiden schon manche Gefahr bestanden - immer auf der Spur jener Kräfte, die schon an anderen Orten des Universums verheerend wirkten.

Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the Middle-East
The current volume, "Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the Middle-East" brings together chapters on selected, unique medicinal plants of this region, known to man since biblical times. Written by leading researchers and scientists, this volume covers both domesticated crops and wild plants with great potential for cultivation. Some of these plants are well-known medicinally, such as opium poppy and khat, while others such as apharsemon and citron have both ritual and medicinal uses. All have specific and valuable uses in modern society. As such, it is an important contribution to the growing field of medicinal and aromatic plants. This volume is intended to bring the latest research to the attention of the broad range of botanists, ethnopharmacists, biochemists, plant and animal physiologists and others who will benefit from the information gathered therein. Plants know no political boundaries, and bringing specific folklore to general medical awareness can only be for the benefit of all.
