Pharmako/Poeia: Plant Powers, Poisons, and Herbcraft (Hardback) (ISBN: 9781556438875) Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: North Atlantic Books,U.S., United States, 2009. Hardback. Book Condition: New. New ed. 235 x 178 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. This is the first volume of North Atlantic Books' hardcover edition of Dale Pendell's "Pharmako "trilogy, an encyclopedic study of the history and uses of psychoactive plants and related synthetics first published between 1995 and 2005. The books form an interrelated suite of works that provide the reader with a unique, reliable, and often personal immersion in this medically, culturally, and spiritually fascinating subject. All three books are beautifully designed and illustrated, and are written with unparalleled authority, erudition, playfulness, and range. "Pharmako/Poeia: Plant Powers, Poisons, and Herbcraft "focuses on familiar psychoactive plant-derived substances and related synthetics, ranging from the licit (tobacco, alcohol) to the illicit (cannabis, opium) and the exotic (absinthe, salvia divinorum, nitrous oxide). Each substance is explored in detail, not only with information on its history, pharmacology, preparation, and cultural and esoteric correspondences, but also the subtleties of each plant's effect on consciousness in a way that only poets can do. The whole concoction is sprinkled with abundant quotations from famous writers, creating a literary brew as intoxicating as its subject. The "Pharmako "series is continued in "Pharmako/Dynamis "(focusing on stimulants and empathogens) and "Pharmako/Gnosis "(which addresses psychedelics and shamanic plants).

Pharmako/Poeia: Plant Powers, Poisons, and Herbcraft (ISBN: 1556438877 / 1-55643-887-7) Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: North Atlantic Books. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. 1556438877 Pharmacopoeia, according to Webster, is an authoritative book containing a list and description of drugs and medicinal products together with the standards established under law for their production, dispensation, and use. Pendell's two-part title, Pharmako/Poeia, reflects what he calls the "twin poles" of his explorations in pharmacology and poetics. It's a book about the interplay of plants, insects, animals, and humans, and it suggests how toxins shaped ecological systems. It's also about the people who for thousands of years investigated the properties of plants and learned to use them for healing, for their effects on the mind, and for poisons. Pendell writes about such topics as tobacco, opium, beer, wine, alcohol, and kava, exploring their history, taxonomy, pharmacology, and effects. The book contains a prodigious amount of scholarly and technical detail, yet Pendell writes with wit and inventiveness. Engaging black-and-white illustrations and provocative quotes complement the text. George Cohen.
