Wandelgids Peru - Hiking and Biking Peru's Inca Trails | Cicerone
Wandelgids Peru - Hiking and Biking Peru's Inca Trails | Cicerone
The eastern slope of the Peruvian Andes is one of the most dramatic and diverse places on the planet, dropping from over 6000m (20,000ft) to just 200m above sea level. This dramatic drop in elevation produces a wide range of constantly changing climactic and vegetative zones – it is often possible to hike from the base of a glacier down to the jungle in just a day or two. Combined with the countless Inca sites and ubiquitous Inca roads, this makes the Sacred Valley one of the best trekking and mountain biking destinations in the world.    Machu Picchu is well known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and the Inca Trail trek that leads there is nearly as famous. What is less known, however, is the vast choice of other epic adventure trips that exist in the region – treks through soaring Andean glaciers and Incan ruins, bike rides through stunning alpine and jungle scenery. Nearly every route in this book uses an Inca road or visits an Inca ruin – and most do both. The majority of…

Big in Brussels: The art of working and living in the EU Bubble

In the shadow of Vesalius (Paperback)
In the shadow of Vesalius (Paperback)
The 16th century was revolutionized by scientific and artistic novelties, not the least in the anatomical and medical world. In this richly illustrated book a multitude of academic scholars present new findings concerning Vesalius and his contemporaries. One of those discoveries includes a preparatory sketch by Jan Steven van Calcar for a drawing in Vesalius' famous 'Fabrica', called 'The Philosopher'. Also authentic letters, written by Vesalius to his friends Benedetto Varchi and Ottavio Landi, are presented and translated for the first time, and are thoroughly discussed, shedding new light on crucial periods of Vesalius' life, such as his leave from academic Padua, exchanged for imperial service to Charles V, or his contribution to the treatment of Philips II's son, crown prince Carlos in Spain. Anatomical novelties, discovered by Vesalius' friends and contemporaries, are equally broadly exposed, like Canani's input in human arm musculature or Valverde's 'corrections' of Vesalius'

Productomschrijving

'The story of oncology is not only fascinating but also contains many accounts of dead ends, chance discoveries, illusions, mistakes and disappointments alongside the few successes.'These words are taken from the introduction to this book. The author, professor emeritus of Medical Oncology, reviews all aspects of the problem of cancer from a historical perspective, from the oldest existing records to the latest scientific and medical advances. It will interest the many people engaged in the treatment of cancer to read how the current therapeutic methods came about, and the book may also provide inspiration for cancer researchers, and for all those directly or indirectly involved with cancer. The layman looking for background information on a particular treatment may find it useful too. The various chapters can be read independently. A glossary and a few explanatory diagrams augment the text.This book grew out of an invitation the author received to lecture on the history of oncology.
