Paperback. Condizione: New. An Italian ethnobotanist explores the remarkable propensity of wild animals to seek out and use psychoactive substances. . Throws out behaviorist theories that claim animals have no consciousness. . Offers a completely new understanding of the role psychedelics play in the development of consciousness in all species. . Reveals drug use to be a natural instinct. From caffeine-dependent goats to nectar addicted ants, the animal kingdom offers amazing examples of wild animals and insects seeking out and consuming the psychoactive substances in their environments. Author Giorgio Samorini explores this little-known phenomenon and suggests that, far from being confined to humans, the desire to experience altered states of consciousness is a natural drive shared by all living beings and that animals engage in these behaviors deliberately. Rejecting the Western cultural assumption that using drugs is a negative action or the result of an illness, Samorini opens our eyes to the possibility that beings who consume psychedelics--whether humans or animals--contribute to the evolution of their species by creating entirely new patterns of behavior that eventually will be adopted by other members of that species. The author's fascinating accounts of mushroom-loving reindeer, intoxicated birds, and drunken elephants ensure that readers will never view the animal world in quite the same way again.

Condizione: New. En todo el mundo se han difundido plantas y hongos cuyo consumo produce visiones y alucinaciones en los seres humanos, acompañadas de profundos estados emocionales e intuitivos, iluminadores y reveladores, y en los cinco continentes han existido y siguen existiendo culturas que utilizan estas plantas particulares como instrumento para trascender la relidad ordinaria y para comunicarse con el mundo de los espíritus y de los dioses o el más allá. Aquellos pueblos cuya cultura y religión han estado sujetas al fenómeno del sincretismo con religiones externas -como el cristianismo, el islamismo y el budismo-, han elaborado y adoptado su mitología a través de un proceso de superposición y comparación simbólica que se refleja incluso en los mitos de origen de las plantas psicoactivas. Como investigador del campo multidisciplinar del uso humano de las plantas psicoactivas, con la presente obra he pretendido ordenar y ofrecer un conjunto de materiales mitológicos -la mayor parte inéditos- con la idea de que podamos leer de forma seguida relatos sobre el origen de la marihuana, el tabaco, el peyote, la amanita muscaria, la mandrágora, etc. Giorgio Samorini *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condizione: Fine. Leichte Abnutzungen; Farbveranderung durch Alter/Sonne. Von koffeinabhangigen Ziegen uber betrunkene Elefanten bis zu nektarsuchtigen Ameisen gibt es in der gesamten Tierwelt eine erstaunliche Anzahl von Wildtieren, Vogeln und Insekten, die in ihren naturlichen Lebensraumen gezielt nach psychoaktiven Substanzen suchen und diese konsumieren. Der Wunsch, sich zu berauschen und veranderte Bewusstseinszustande zu erfahren, scheint also ein naturliches Verhalten aller Lebewesen und nicht nur eine Eigentumlichkeit der menschlichen Spezies zu sein. Der Autor, Ethnobotaniker, Ethnomykologe und profunder Kenner der Materie, hat in diesem Buch die wachsende Zahl an Forschungsergebnissen zum Drogenkonsum bei Tieren zusammengetragen. Die gesammelten Daten lassen den Schluss zu, dass der Drogenkonsum vollig neue Verhaltenmuster hervorbringt, die schliesslich von anderen Mitgliedern derselben Art ubernommen werden und so letztlich zur Entwicklung der Arten beitragen konnen. Ein faszinierender Blick auf das wenig erforschte Gebiet des Drogenkonsums bei Tieren - spannend, unterhaltsam und fachlich fundiert geschrieben. Inhaltsverzeichnis 'Verruckte' Kuhe Betrunkene Elefanten Die Drogen der Katzen Rentiere, die Pilze lieben Ziegen und ihre Stimulanzien Berauschte Vogel Weitere Tiere Insekten Fliegen und Fliegenpilz: eine neue Hypothese Warum nehmen Tiere und Menschen Drogen.
