Essential oils, well-known for their remarkable properties, have played a ubiquitous role throughout human history. They connect us to our past, invoking memories of childhood places and the aromas of our grandparents' kitchens. From the fragrant scents of ancient Egypt to the natural preservatives found in 15th century Oriental spices, essential oils have the ability to stimulate, numb, and captivate our senses through their effects on the central nervous system. This book presents several innovative studies on the isolation, biological, and pharmacological properties of essential oils, conducted by multidisciplinary groups from different countries.
Este tercer tomo de las obras completas del historiador José Agustín Blanco Barros está dedicado a la geografía y a la historia colonial del municipio de Tubará, ubicado en el antiguo territorio de Tierradentro, hoy departamento del Atlántico. El lector tendrá a su disposición valiosa información sobre la geografía de la zona, así como un detallado reporte de la situación en la que se encontraba la población indígena asentada en el municipio de Tubará durante la conquista y su posterior evolución durante los tres siglos de dominación española, época en la que se consolidan procesos de amalgama biológica y cultural en el Caribe Colombiano.

This book describes an easy to apply methodology to determine the scenic value of a coast. As one of the most critical aspects of beach user choice, the determination of coastal area scenic quality is of primordial importance. This book is, therefore, an extremely useful tool for any coastal lovers, being them users, teachers, researchers, or managers. In particular, this work is the first book to present a semi-quantitative analysis of coastal scenery based on more than 4,000 interviews about people’s desired coastal imaginary. Twenty-six parameters can be used to identify any coastal scene, which have then been sub-divided into five attribute categories, weighted and subjected to fuzzy l...
