Psychedelics Encyclopedia

Rating:
Summary: Impressed
Review: Unlike many of the books written on this subject, Psychedelics Encyclopedia is objectively written with eloquence and precision. This extremely well researched, well put together examination of psychoactive chemicals is best used as a source of research. Peter Stafford has undoubtedly established himself as an authority on this topic. This book however has its drawbacks. This is by no means an easy read. Though his writing is both cohesive and flowing, this book should not be read as a novel. Much like other reference books, it has been formatted into sections, and with the help of his extensive index it becomes very manageable. Stafford has out done himself in getting the reader through the scientific jargon and gives thorough explanations and definitions. The text is accompanied by detailed photographs and diagrams that Stafford makes easily understandable through captioned explanations. Overall this book comes highly recommended from me, and in my opinion, has rightfully assumed its place among the most informative pieces written on the subject.
