Tapa blanda. Etat : New. 1. La I Jornada PSICOCEU: Investigación, estudiantes y clínica de la Universidad CEU San Pablo, surge de la ilusión de generar un espacio de encuentro entre los alumnos actuales y aquellos que ya finalizaron Psicología.Para los primeros supone una experiencia enriquecedora conocer los hallazgos, descubrimientos y primeros pasos profesionales que han alcanzado aquellos que les precedieron. Jóvenes con inquietudes similares por la comprensión global de la persona que han ido resolviendo esas preguntas y encontrando su lugar.Conscientes de que el campo de la investigación no resulta tan atractivo como otras salidas profesionales, a veces por la percepción de este como un recorrido largo, tedioso y poco gratificante, en otras ocasiones debido a apenas conocer la existencia de él, recogemos en este volumen algunos de los mejores TFG/TFM de los últimos años y que se presentaron en la I Jornada PsicoCeu, para que ayuden a configurarse una idea de en qué consiste investigar y para qué sirve.En las páginas que forman este libro el lector encontrará las veinte investigaciones expuestas por los antiguos alumnos que participaron en la Jornada Psicoceu, que versan sobre temas muy variados, convirtiéndolo así, en una lectura entretenida y para muy distintos gustos e intereses.La Psicología es hoy en día una ciencia sólida y respetada, gracias a que tiempo atrás hubo estudiantes que sintieron curiosidad por ir más allá y se adentraron en la aventura de investigar. Esperamos que, con iniciativas como esta y la docencia impartida a lo largo de los estudios de Psicología, surjan nuevas preguntas y nuevos valientes que inicien el camino de crear más conocimiento y compartirlo, con el objetivo de mejorar y actualizar así la comprensión del ser humano. - Libro bajo demanda.

Lettrines ornées gravées sur bois. Plein vélin rigide, dos lisse, pièce de titre de chagrin bordeaux, titres dorés, date en queue (reliure récente). Rares rousseurs marginales, légère trace de mouillure marginale aux trois derniers feuillets. Première édition de la traduction italienne. ADAMS, A-121. SABIN, 114. PALAU, 1694. DURLING 1066. Première édition italienne du célèbre traité du médecin et naturaliste portugais Cristóbal de Acosta, initialement publié en espagnol en 1578 et promptement traduit au latin et dans plusieurs langues européennes. C'est l'un des premiers et des plus importants textes de l'époque sur les plantes et les drogues de l'Orient, avec un accent particulier sur leurs utilisations médicinales et pharmacologiques. L'un de ses grands mérites est qu'il repose sur la collecte et l'observation personnelles des spécimens décrits, effectuées lors de ses voyages aux Indes orientales, au cours desquels il a parcouru la Chine, l'Inde, la Perse, la Malaisie, etc. Ce témoignage direct le différencie des autres textes contemporains, même dans les belles images qui illustrent l' uvre, dessinées sur place par l'auteur lui-même, toujours guidé par un souci absorbant de réalisme et de précision. L'ouvrage se termine par un inattendu "Traité sur l'éléphant et ses qualités", probablement en avant-première d'un traité qu'il avait projeté sur la faune orientale, qu'il n'a pas pu achever. Cet ajout s'est avéré être la première monographie publiée en Occident sur l'éléphant indien, ainsi que les deux gravures qui l'accompagnent, copiées et reproduites à plusieurs reprises au cours des siècles suivants. Bien que l'accent soit mis sur la flore asiatique, l'ouvrage contient également des références aux Indes Occidentales, avec des détails sur la localisation dans le Nouveau Monde des plantes mentionnées.

Contemporary ms. ex libris de la libreria de Don Fernando de Henao Monjaraz to t-p. First edition of this beautifully illustrated, influential work on medicinal plants of the East Indies. The splendid woodcuts are the first images of Indian flora printed in Europe, made from the author s own accurate drawings. A Portuguese doctor, naturalist and botanist, Cristóbal Acosta (c. 1525-1594) is considered a pioneer in the study of Indian plants and their use in pharmacology. He was born in Africa in his works he calls himself Africanus possibly in Tangiers or Ceuta (Portuguese at the time) or in Cape Verde. Around 1550, after completing his studies in Arts and Medicine in Spain, he travelled as a soldier to India. In the city of Goa, he met the great physician and naturalist García da Orta, the first European to describe the indigenous drug plants of India in his Coloquios dos simples . Appointed personal physician of the viceroy Luís de Ataíde, Acosta returned to Goa in 1568 and spent many years studying the local flora and collecting botanical specimens from various parts of India. His Tractado de las drogas is an illustrated adaptation of Da Orta s earlier treatise, with a series of interesting additions of his own. Acosta states: The learned Dr. Orta has written with curiosity and diligence, but he has used reports, whereas I have set down what I have seen with my own eyes and depicted from life . In this work, Acosta describes a total of sixty-nine botanical species for medicinal use. Each entry contains an attractive illustration, a general description of the plant, its morphological elements (root, stem, leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds), geographical environment, therapeutic and dietary properties, and finally commercialization and industrial uses. References to the great classical naturalists of Greco-Latin antiquity are combined with the traditional guidelines of Galenic therapy. Among the species described, we find: nutmeg, tamarind, coconut, ginger, cardamom, mango, rhubarb, and asafoetida. Some of them, such as cinnamon, black and white pepper, cloves, nutmeg or opium had not been mentioned by da Orta. The author also depicts a few native American plants, including the pineapple, amber, rubber tree, sugar cane and the Indian fig of Peru. At the end, there is a fascinating section titled Tractado del Elephante y de sus calidades , that is a treatise on the elephant and its qualities this is considered the first monograph on the Indian elephant printed in Europe. It includes a realistic drawing of an elephant leaning against the trunk of a coconut palm and another of a war elephant with a castle on its back. Acosta s Tractado , is also among the first works to record words from the basque language.
