New York: E.P. Dutton & Company, Inc, 1964. Octavo (22 x 14.5 cm.), xvii, 335 pages. New Edition, expanded with a foreword by Bo Holmstedt. From the 1931 English translation from the Second German Edition. A foundational text in the study of psychoactive drugs, this book remains a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the cultural and scientific dimensions of drug use. Originally published in German in 1924, this classic work by the pioneering German pharmacologist Louis Lewin (1850-1929) explores the history, cultural significance, and pharmacological properties of a wide range of narcotic and stimulating drugs. Lewin provides detailed insights into how these substances have been used across societies for medicinal, spiritual, and recreational purposes. A groundbreaking study of psychoactive substances and their effects on the human mind and body. Small ownership sticker to front paste-down, otherwise internally clean and sound; in publisher's lavender cloth, slightly sunned at the head and foot of the spine. Unclipped dust jacket has a few small chips to the edges. Generally very good. (Inventory #: 10076)
