Damiana
Native to South America and the southern regions of North America, damiana
is a small shrub with toothed, pale green leaves and reddish stems. It has
been used since ancient times for its purported aphrodisiac qualities by
the native peoples of Mexico. Damiana has also been used as a stimulant
for the nervous system, an energy tonic, and as a natural remedy to
address anxiety-related disorders. In vitro studies, as well as those
performed on mice, suggest a potentially positive benefit for use in
disorders of the urinary tract. Human clinical trials have yet to confirm
its efficacy in the area of sexual virility - that for which it is
renowned.

Macao, Vol. 1
Publisher's Notes A former Portuguese-administered enclave on the Chinese coast, Macao became a meeting point of cultures drawn from many parts of the world. A flourishing trade turned it into a rich warehouse, where more goods were traded than anywhere else. But Macao has also been a place of debauchery, with gambling dives, opium dens, pleasure houses, and an astonishingly successful smuggling industry. In this evocative text, Pons describes both Macao's colorful past and the dramatic changes the 20th-century has seen, revealing its charms yet lamenting the passing of an era.
