Book Description Paperback. Very Good+ in Wraps: shows indications of very careful use, but there is a diagonal crease across the front panel and a shorter, fainter one near the upper rear corner, which mar an otherwise handsome book. Else, shows some very light wear to the extremities; the mildest rubbing to the wrapper covers; the pages have tanned slightly, due to aging; the binding show barely discernible lean, while remaining perfectly secure; the text is clean. Shows some flaws, but overall, remains close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 287pp. Foreword by Gary Snyder. First Edition Thus; First Printing indicated. Trade Paperback. Dale Pendell is a contemporary author who combines science and poetry in his explications of the relationship between psychoactive compounds and human beings. A long time student of ethnobotany, Pendell discusses historical and cultural uses of "power plants" in his works. He reads and distills the literature of pharmacology and neuroscience, of ethnobotany and anthropology, of mythology and political economics as they intersect with the direct experience of human psychoactive use. His publications include the Pharmako Trilogy: Pharmako/Poeia (1994), Pharmako/Dynamis (2002), and Pharmako/Gnosis (2005), all published by Mercury House. He covers all the major categories of psychoactives and details the use, the pharmacology, the chemistry, the political and social historical implications and effects of the use of psychoactives. He is also a myth critic. Certain of his works comment on the origins of cultural myths. Pendell has also delved into politics, introducing the concept of "Horizon anarchism" at his Burning Man 2006 Palenque Norte lecture. First Edition Thus; First Printing indicated.
