Description
Far-reaching, fair-minded, and elegant, this book is a thorough history of the traffic of psychoactive substances, a unique contribution to both world history and drug history. It brings wide research, reasoned judgment, and dry humor to a subject prone to ill-informed and overheated discussions. 25 halftones.
