Soft cover. Condizione: As New. No Jacket. Interior illustrations by J.E.M. Pugsley (illustratore). 1st Edition. An interesting alphabetical catalog of wild plants of the Northern Hemisphere known to have medicinal or consciousness-altering effects, from tobacco to henbane to the opium poppy and the psilocybin mushrooms, illustrated with B&W photos and drawings which may prove of some help in identification. (Amanita muscaria is alphabetized here as "Fly agaric.") However, the write-ups here tend to be more anecdotal than rigorous, either botanically (distinguishing the described plants from look-alikes is handled pretty casually, and virtually everything is said to grow "in waste places, in hedge banks, railway banks, and at the side of roads" . . . presumably everywhere from Fairbanks to Tashkent?) or pharmacologically. In other words, while this is an attractive and intriguing slim quarto paperback in "as-new" condition, and while the author does insert the de rigueur advice that one shouldn't go carelessly ingesting plants known to be poisonous, (WARNING) this volume should not be relied upon as a sole source before engaging in the medical or psychoactive use of just about anything. 110 pp. followed by 4 pp. ads for other books from this publisher, which is unfortunately now defunct. Reduced from $120.
