Ibn Nafis on the Anatomy of Cranial Nerves
Ibn Nafis (1213-1288) is known for his discovery of the pulmonary circulation long before Michael Servetus and William Harvey. Shedding light on the pulmonary circulation for the first time in the history of science, Ibn Nafis' Commentary on the Anatomy in the Canon of Avicenna has been the subject of many studies, but these have all been limited to his notion on the circulation. It is equally important for the historians of science and medicine to scrutinize the remaining parts of this commentary, yet to be fully translated into English. This book is the first English translation of a section of Ibn Nafis' commentary on the anatomy of the nerves and particularly, the cranial nerves.
Phylogenetic Implications of Pollen Morphology in Subfamily Lamioideae (Labiatae)
The book presents the phylogenetic implications of a palynological survey (i.e., the study of pollen grains characters) of the species of the subfamily Lamioideae-one of the two large subfamilies of Lamiaceae (aka Labiatae). The study encompassed 370 species representing 86 genera of Lamioideae and 6 genera of Verbenaceae. The book contains 591 images of scanning and transmission electron microscopy images of the pollen of these species. Pollen characters were used to assess the phylogenetic relationships in the Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae and discuss their implications on defining the ambiguous boundary between the two families.

Healing Secrets of Avicenna: It Is Compiled from AvicennaÕs Work, "The Canon of Medicine" and Then Simplified
When i had first read the second volume of Ibn Sina's study, "The Canon of Medicine", telling about which plant is recuperative and the applications of these plants internally and externally. Staying faithful to context of the book, submitting this book on behalf of the community was my biggest wish, during my 2 years. In order to bring simplicity, I worked meticulously to compile an index of plant names together with their latinized forms which are sorted in alphabetical order and also an alphabetical index of diseases, should be used. We can already see that the modern medicine finds out solutions to many diseases but nevertheless, there are still dozens of diseases which can not be healed. For instance, in this work, Ibn Sina explains the reason of why he has named a plant as "Swallow-Wort" as follows: Sometimes the newborn nestlings of a swallow suffer from blindness. It was observed that the mother squeezes the extract of this plant onto their babies' eyelids and then their eyes were healed..
الشفاء: الالهيات
Within this emanative scheme we encounter some of the basic ideas of Avicenna's religious and political philosophy, including his discussion of the divine attributes, divine providence, the Hereafter, and the ideal, "virtuous" city with its philosopher-prophet as the recipient and conveyer of the revealed law, a human link between the celestial and the terrestrial worlds."--BOOK JACKET.
