Practical Paracord Projects
Step-by-step projects utilizing this ideal material for tons of crafts due to its durability and flexibility!Parachute cord, which is now universally known as paracord, is a lightweight nylon rope originally used by paratroopers during World War II. It is now employed as a general purpose utility cord by military personnel and civilians alike. Hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts have made “survival bracelets” from paracord, which are meant to be unraveled when needed to secure cargo, lash together poles, and fix broken straps and laces. As more colors become available, crafters are discovering that paracord makes an excellent material for fun and stylish friendship bracelets, lanyards, belts, dog leashes, key chains, and more.Originating from Instructables, a popular project-based community made up of all sorts of people with a desire to pass on their wisdom to others, Practical Paracord Projects contains ideas from a number of authors who show just how easy it is to make virtually anything from paracord.Practical Paracord Projects provides step-by-step instructions on a variety of useful and fun objects involving paracord. Guided by detailed photographs, the reader will create such practical and unusual projects as:A laptop harnessA can koozieAn eyeglass lanyardA hanging chairSandalsA leatherman pouchAnd much more!

Paracelsus's Theory of Embodiment
Paracelsus has been called the father of modern chemistry and is legendary for his treatment of syphilis. This work argues that Paracelsus developed an understanding of the body as composed of two distinct sexes, revolutionizing early modern conceptions of the female body as an inversion of or flawed approximation of the male body.

Gesundheit und Krankheit vor und nach Paracelsus
Bedeutend ist Theophrast von Hohenheim (ca. 1493/4–1541), genannt Paracelsus, vor allem durch sein Aufbegehren gegen die klassischen antiken und arabisch-mittelalterlichen Autoritäten in der Medizin. Grundlage sollen nicht mehr die überlieferten Schriften, sondern experientia, experimenta und ratio sein. Von dieser Basis soll künftig ausgegangen werden, was Paracelsus auch dadurch unterstreicht, dass er seine Schriften in deutscher Sprache veröffentlicht. Indem er sich gegen die dogmatische Auslegung antiker Texte wandte, wollte er die Ära Galens beenden. Die Chirurgie wollte er auf universitären Rang erheben. Nach Paracelsus ist es die Natur, die heilt, wobei der Arzt nur Helfer ist. Wenn er Gesundheit als harmonische Ordnung im organischen Ablauf definiert, dann ist er bestrebt, Makrokosmos und Mikrokosmos, Diesseits und Jenseits, in Einklang zu bringen. Die Welt ist für ihn kein Nebeneinander isolierter Elemente, sondern eine Einheit. Auch beim Menschen erscheint ihm Sinnliches und Seelisches aufeinander bezogen. Archeus nennt er ein immaterielles Prinzip, in dem er den Träger der belebenden Kraft in der Natur und im Menschen, also im Makrokosmos wie im Mikrokosmos, festmacht. Im Sinne der Renaissance sieht er den Menschen als Mittelpunkt des Kosmos und seine Aufgabe im Erkennen der Welt.

French Paracelsians
The scientific revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries is normally characterised in terms of astronomy and the physics of motion. In The French Paracelsians, first published in 1992, Allen Debus narrates an important episode whose contribution to the scientific revolution has been largely ignored: the long-standing contention between Paracelsians and Galenists. Shortly after the medical authority of Galen had been re-established during the Renaissance, Paracelsus, a Swiss-German firebrand, proposed a new approach to natural philosophy and medicine - through chemistry. The resulting debate between Paracelsians and Galenists lasted more than a century, embroiling medical establishments across Europe. In France the debate was particularly bitter, with the Medical Faculty in Paris determined to keep out of all fields of chemistry medicine. Debus elucidates this important polemic, not only in regard to Paracelsian pharmaceutical chemistry and clinical cosmology, but also the development of chemical physiology, and its struggle with seventeenth-century medicine dominated by mechanical philosophy.
