Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. What if Baltic amber is far more than a beautiful gemstone?For thousands of years, Baltic amber-known to the Romans as succinum-was treasured as jewelry, traded across ancient Europe, and used in traditional medicine. Yet its deepest secrets may still be hidden within its golden structure.The Hidden Science of Baltic Amber: Succinum takes readers on a fascinating journey from prehistoric forests and ancient Greek trade routes to historical pharmacies and modern laboratory research.Discover how resin produced by trees millions of years ago survived dramatic climate change, advancing seas, glaciers, rivers, and geological transformation before reaching the shores of the Baltic Sea.This richly illustrated book explores: - the lost forests and resin-producing plants behind Baltic amber- the mystery of Eridanos and its possible connection with the Vistula River- amber in ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ayurvedic, and European medicine- historical amber tinctures, oils, powders, and pharmaceutical recipes- the chemistry of succinite, including succinic acid and natural terpenes- modern research into polyphenols, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity- the historical use of amber in American and European pharmacies- emerging scientific questions concerning the brain, cardiovascular system, skin, hair, collagen, allergies, and healthy agingOne of the book's most remarkable themes is the discovery of measurable polyphenols and flavonoids in an ethanolic extract of Baltic amber. These findings invite readers to see succinite not only as fossilized resin, but also as a preserved chemical archive of ancient plant-defense mechanisms.Combining geology, botany, chemistry, archaeology, history of medicine, and modern scientific research, Peter Barczak presents Baltic amber as a witness to vanished ecosystems and changing human knowledge.Perfect for readers interested in: - Baltic amber and fossil resins- natural history and prehistoric forests- medicinal plants and historical pharmacy- organic chemistry and bioactive compounds- archaeology and ancient trade routes- European history and traditional medicine- gemstones, minerals, and scientific discoveriesBeautifully illustrated with photographs, maps, historical objects, chemical structures, tables, and scientific diagrams, this book reveals a world hidden inside one of nature's most extraordinary materials.Baltic amber is not merely a jewel.It is a survivor of vanished forests, a record of ancient chemistry, and a scientific mystery that is still unfolding.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Amber is a fossilized plant resin from millions of years ago, a mixture of organic and inorganic compounds. It can be classified as a mineraloid, i.e. a natural substance different from minerals. It contains groups of various elements and mixtures of chemical compounds. Mineraloids include pearls, jet, obsidian, opal. Baltic amber, also referred to as succinite, was probably created by damage to trees, as a result of which resin, containing compounds protecting tree structure, leaked. Baltic amber is a complex molecular structure which, as a result of millions of years of transformations, has acquired a unique structure, additionally enriched with plant compounds occurring on earth over millions of years. Succinite because that is how Baltic amber is described in the scientific language, shows supramolecular structures and each amber study reveals new compounds known from plants.…
