Sommario/riassunto |
|
Traveling two and a half months and one thousand miles along the ancient route through southern France and northern Spain, Conrad Rudolph made the passage to the holy site of Santiago de Compostela, one of the most important modern-day pilgrimage destinations for Westerners. In this chronicle of his travels to this captivating place, Rudolph melds the ancient and the contemporary, the spiritual and the physical, in a book that is at once travel guide, literary work, historical study, and memoir. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Sex in animals has been known for at least ten thousand years, and this knowledge was exploited during animal domestication in the Neolithic period. In contrast, sex in plants wasn't discovered until the late seventeenth century. Even after its discovery, the sexual 'theory' continued to be hotly debated for another 150 years, pitting the 'sexualists' against the 'asexualists.' Why was the idea of sex in plants so contentious for so long? In answer, 'Flora Unveiled' offers a deep history of perceptions concerning plant gender and sexuality, from the Paleolithic to the nineteenth century. |
