Medical historians are already familiar with medieval southern Italy through research into its famed medical school at Salerno. This volume takes a broader view of healthcare, seeking to illuminate the experience of sickness, attitudes towards the ill and infirm and the provision of care up to the twelfth century. Combining information from hagiography and chronicles with less well-known charters and archaeology, it deals with the provision of food, the environment, women's health, individual and collective disease and varieties of cure. A final chapter assesses the interaction between intellectual and practical medicine, as well as re-examining the early life of the medical school at Salerno. The book's importance lies in its wide-ranging approach and detailed analysis, which will appeal to historians of medicine and medieval culture alike.
Welcome to Ampyrium, a city of a thousand wonders! May the trading be always in your favor. Powerful magicians called the Magnum have created a massive city contained within eight walls, each with its own portal to another world. Here, eight different magical lands collide. In these streets, all of the races from those worlds come to trade, to politic, to carouse, and to murder. Merchants and royalty, thieves and assassins; caravans and envoys, armies and entourages. Everyone...and everything...can be found in Ampyrium. Every dream can be made real. Every vice is available. Every wish can be fulfilled. All you have to do is stay clear of the Magnum...and their Eyes are everywhere. Enter the streets of AMPYRIUM with your guides in tow—authors Joshua Palmatier, Juliet E. McKenna, David B. Coe, Esther Friesner, Patricia Bray, S.C. Butler, and Jason Palmatier. Eight stunning worlds await you. But beware. Don’t stray. Don’t fall behind. Don’t get lost. Because the streets of Ampyrium will swallow you whole.
Including the management of breeder flocks, egg handling, incubating secrets, hatchery efficiency, building shelters, marketing, advertising, soils regeneration, processing poultry humanely and efficiently, and much, much, more!
