Summary: encyclopedic entheogenic
Comment: Penguin is so adept at publishing comprehensive, but manageable, collections in forms that are portable, highly readable and easy to reference.

This collection is diverse and delves into the scientific, poetic and recreational components with elegance and authority.

A completely worthwhile work.

Summary: Dazzling survey of drug history, science, art and culture
Comment: I expected a handy reference tome and found something else - a breathtaking and compelling end-to-end read. Excerpts are short and threaded together in sections which raise the central questions about the relation of drugs to art, religion, science and society while illustrating them with an incredible range of perspectives from history and different cultures. I find most 'drug literature' rather boring but this anthology opens the subject out into new dimensions.
