Abstract

Books dealing with medicinal herbs have been forests by man. Furthermore, the knowledge of use­ ful and medicinal plants is lost as soon as tradition much in demand in the last decade, since interest in the use of 'healing plants' instead of chemistry vanishes through the import of new products from wrapped up in the form of pills has gradually in­ industrialized countries. Already in 1926, PITTIER creased. Interest in natural methods of healing by regreted that the use as well as the production of medicinal plants advanced with the ecological con­ indigenous medicinal-herbal products, foodstuffs science of man. European officinal plants are well and other local industrial vegetable products, such known and have already been applied for hundreds as special oils, waxes, fibers, tannic substances, cork of years or even more. However, as the tropical etc. , diminished alarmingly, as importation of arti­ forests attracted more attention, the great wealth of ficial or foreign products from the USA and Europe increased. This decrease in natural indigenous pro­ useful plants stored in tropical regions became ob­ vious. India is probably a leading country in the duction continues up to the present day such that knowledge of indigenous tropical medicinal plants, also the knowledge of these useful plants is being some of which are also known or are even common gradually forgotten. As local industries disap­ in Europe. Further useful and medicinal plants peared, unemployment consequently increased.

Abstract

De Charles Darwin, on connaît la théorie révolutionnaire de l’évolution des êtres vivants qu’il a développée dans son livre-événement de 1859 L’origine des espèces mais beaucoup ignorent ce qui a bien pu l’occuper de 1859 à 1882, année de son décès. En fait, c’est au monde végétal qu’il a consacré une part importante de cette période, en particulier à l’étude des mouvements exécutés par les organes aériens et souterrains des plantes. Darwin découvre que ces mouvements sont universels, que la plupart sont lents mais que quelques-uns sont ultra-rapides, que certains sont provoqués par un facteur de l’environnement alors que d’autres paraissent « innés », c’est-à-dire contrôlés par un mécanisme interne à la plante. Darwin ressent vite le besoin de dépasser la simple observation des phénomènes et de passer à l’expérimentation. À partir de 1873, il associe à la poursuite de ce travail son fils Francis, physiologiste de formation. La coopération entre le génie intuitif de Charles et le travail méthodique de Francis va s’avérer incroyablement fructueuse. Elle les conduit à conclure en 1880 que l’agent responsable des mouvements est une « influence » se déplaçant dans les plantes. Le professeur Sachs (Würzburg), figure de proue de la physiologie végétale de l’époque, rejette catégoriquement cette proposition. Ce rejet assombrit les dernières années de la vie de Charles. C’est pourtant les Darwin qui avaient raison. Leur idée va susciter au XXe siècle des recherches qui déboucheront en 1928 sur la découverte de la première et la plus importante hormone végétale : l’auxine. L’histoire de cette épopée scientifique prodigieuse, racontée ici, révèle que Charles Darwin, le génial naturaliste et penseur, s’est « converti » au cours des 20 dernières années de sa vie en un génial pionnier de la physiologie des plantes. L’ouvrage est préfacé par Jean Gayon, professeur à l’Université de Paris 1 – Panthéon Sorbonne et directeur de l’Institut d’histoire et de philosophie des sciences et des techniques, à Paris.

Abstract

In the 20 years that have passed since the publication of the first edition, both Poison Control Centers and Emergency Departments have witnessed an expansion in the number and variety of poisonings caused by toxic plants. At the same time, there is a proliferation in the diversity of plants in our gardens and homes, continually expanding the range of possible consequences from exposure to toxic plants. This second edition of the Handbook of Poisonous and Injurious Plants is created to assist the clinician in the initial response to the needs of a child or adult exposed to a poisonous or injurious plant. It lists common plants that might lead to the development of the symptom complex and describes the mechanisms of action of the implicated toxin, additional clinical manifestations, and specific therapeutics for each presentation. It has methodically enhanced the previous edition’s botanical rigor with insights from both pharmacognosy and clinical medicine to make it a truly comprehensive source. With its thorough references and full-color photos of hundreds of potentially toxic and injurious plants inside and outside the home, anyone who has an interest in plants will find this book useful outside in the garden or out in the wild. This book will fascinate botanists, horticulturists, and naturalists as well as hikers, gardeners, and all those who simply enjoy the wonders of nature and the great outdoors! With Foreword by Lewis R. Goldfrank, MD and Introduction by Andrew Weil, MD Advance reviews: "The Handbook of Poisonous and Injurious Plants, rich in visual images, emergency medical information, botanical descriptions, and scientific references, is the easiest to use and most comprehensive handbook of its kind available today. It will be of great value to physicians, naturalists, horticulturists, parents of small children, pet owners, and all those who interact with plants and the landscapes -- both indoors and outdoors -- in temperate, desert, tropical, and subtropical habitats throughout the year. This book is designed to become a well-thumbed addition to libraries, classrooms, and personal bookshelves. The authors are to be congratulated for producing such a useful, portable, and elegant guidebook to the plant toxins that are all around us." - Peter H. Raven, President, Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, MO, USA "The Handbook of Poisonous and Injurious Plants by Nelson, Shih, and Balick is a thoroughly revised and updated. The new Handbook authors include a botanist and two physicians in the active practice of medical toxicology and emergency medicine. The resulting collaboration has resulted in a remarkable reference work – a slim, but lavishly illustrated handbook of only 300-plus pages that provides a detailed, medically oriented approach to plant poisonings and their management. The Handbook of Poisonous and Injurious Plants is an indispensable resource for every poison center and emergency department book shelf. Many pediatricians and emergency physicians will find it an invaluable addition to their personal libraries as well. " - Fred M. Henretig, MD, Director, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia' s Poison Control Center, Philadelphia, PA, USA "This second edition of the Handbook of Poisonous and Injurious Plants is a remarkable improvement to a great book. It is much more logical and clinically relevant use of botany and medicine. Its new graphics and formal structure increases its value for the lay person and clinician." - Lewis R. Goldfrank, Chairman, Department of Emergency Medicine, New York University School of Medicine, Bellevue Hospital Center, New York, NY, USA.
