Aloe vera is one of the few medicinal plants used in home remedies
since ancient times. The dried sap of the Aloe plant is
traditionally used for diabetes. Some of the most important other
pharmacological activities of Aloe vera are antiseptic, anti-
tumor, anti-inflammatory and wound and burn healing effect In order
to fulfill the demand for aloe, a large number of authentic
planting materials are required for cultivation throughout the year
and thus, micropropagation would be an attractive method as an
alternative for the conventional propagation of Aloe vera. Apart
from Aloe vera, other economically important species of Aloe
include A. ferox Mill, A. Africana Mill, A. perryi Back. and A.
arborescence. Therefore, it is also required to systematically
characterize this economically important genus at molecular level
in relation to morphological variation for estimation of genetic
diversity. Hence, it is hoped that present compilation would be of
great use to the Aloe vera researchers, teachers and students. It
may also prove book a reference as to the agencies engaged in
natural product formation from Aloe vera.
Nowhere is distance so near-at-hand as in Enlightenment culture.
Whether in the telescopic surveys of early astronomers, the
panoramas of painters, the diaries of travelers, the prospects of
landscape architects, or the tales of novelists, distance is never
far in the background of the works and deeds of
long-eighteenth-century artists, authors, and adventurers.
Hemispheres and Stratospheres draws that background into the
foreground. Recognizing distance as a central concern of the
Enlightenment, this volume offers eight essays on distance in art
and literature; on cultural transmission and exchange over
distance; and on distance as a topic in science, a theme in
literature, and a central issue in modern research methods. Through
studies of landscape gardens, architecture, imaginary voyages,
transcontinental philosophical exchange, and cosmological poetry,
Hemispheres and Stratospheres unfurls the early history of a
distance culture that influences our own era of global information
exchange, long-haul flights, colossal skyscrapers, and space
tourism.
