The Botanical Color Line in Slave Societies
The earliest illustrated Caribbean botanicals remain among the most remarkable artworks from the 17th and 18th centuries and retain historical value for their identification of indigenous plant and insect species. In conducting this work, European botanists depended on enslaved people to carry equipment, clear forest paths, gather specimens, and identify plant uses. Although the accompanying narratives sometimes acknowledge the involvement of unnamed workers and the medicinal use of plants by local people, those contributions are masked by the splendor and scientific objectivity of the illustrations.
Illustrated botanical works with information on rare exotic specimens helped legitimize the colonial regimes in financing their printing. As the illustrations excelled in botanical exactitude, they obscured the skills of African herbalists on whose unseen labor these landmark books depended. This is the botanical color line, where these books’ qualities concealed the conditions of their production and secured the publications’ status as the epitome of the benefits derived from colonial rule. Join 2023 Lloyd Library Artist-in-Residence Mark Harris, as he addresses how the structure of Caribbean economies ensured this duality and how we should look at these illustrations today.
Mark Harris is a Professor of Art at the University of Cincinnati. He has an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London, and a Ph.D. in Philosophy from Goldsmiths College, London. His artwork and writing concern the visual culture and literature of intentional communities and avant-garde groups.

Ohio Native Plants Medicinally Speaking
Переглядів 4521 день тому
Native plants have always been part of the medicinal “tool kit,” used by Indigenous people, settlers, immigrants as well as doctors and researchers. Even today, upwards of 40% of the medicines we use are plant based. When high tech science collides with nature, the results are remarkable! Ongoing research peels away the layers of the anecdotal uses of our native plants and substantiates many as...
How Flowers Support Our Health

Flowers are the most beautiful aspects of plants, long appreciated for their shapes, colors, and fragrances. An often-overlooked aspect of flowers is their traditional medicinal uses, many of which are being confirmed by modern scientific research. From the lowly chamomile to treat Peter Rabbit’s upset stomach to more sophisticated medicinal applications, flowers can be good medicine. Mark Blum...

Fungi as a Source for Drug Discoveries

Have you ever wondered how someone goes about “discovering” a fungal-derived drug in 2023? Fungi may have had one of the biggest impacts on human survival rates in the 20th century.

    And this is where then global flood myths come from. In ancient times, humans found seashells and fish fossils far from the ocean.

      @direbearcoat7551 Рік тому

      @@antonijaume8498 The science that lets me watch this video is the science of electromagnetism, electrical currents, electrical circuitry, mathematics, programming, etc. She's talking about geology. Geology did not contribute to the Internet and computers. The science of Internet and computers is repeatable. It can be proved by repeating the calculations and by applying electric currents to circuits. Hundreds of millions of years of geology cannot be repeated. Cannot be observed. They are taking educated guesses of what happened. These are educated guesses, NOT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Therefore, she should speak in a way that indicates that "this is what we believed happened," not in "this is what happened." She's wrong for stating it in such a way that makes it seem that she was there to see it unfold.

    Life itself will not go extinct but unfortunately all the life forms we like the appearance of and the ones we like to eat will. In future we can look forward to having lizards as house pets and eating crickets for protein. Can't say we didn't earn end of civilisation as we know it. Humans will go extinct before the more resilient creatures on Earth. It's a testament to human ego that you can't imagine a world without humans. They say that when humans go everything falls apart. The world will be fine without. The lockdown has shown us that they don't need human help.

    Even though the main stream history were taught is a lie & everything else for that matter its funny how the bee is one of or if not the most important thing for humans when there not talked about and are dying in mass rapidly & honey is one of the healthiest nutrients for the human body that wont spoil for thousands if years is a disservice to humanity sorry I do get a little carried away cuz I'm passionate about this subject but the basic reason why I wanted to comment is that they were vibrating at a higher level that's why they didn't wear protection to get honey they could just reach in the hive without get stung same way in India Yogi's can pick up cobras without being bitten because they have the vibration everything that exists period has a vibration and frequency

I see where honey would be important for this for my past kin. Also I imagine an emergency seal for a wound could be hot wax over it and it cools to seal while maybe searing tune ends at same time?

    This one is simple to answer. Each hive would only have one queen bee. Since all hives consisted of separate clay pipes stacked up to form a wall, then each of these would be classed as a separate hive from the next one so there would be hundreds of hives per wall and a hundreds of queen's for each hive. Note that during harvesting honey is stored at farthest end to entrance of bees into hive so the collectors would open the hive at the opposite end so brood combs and others don't get disturbed and they probably only took a little from each hive as they had so many. Hope this answers your question.
