In this dictionary, Dr Christian Ratsch introduces a wealth of specific ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological information, aiming to bring order to the chaotic literature preceding it. He provides information about the botanical classifications and pharmacology of many of these "magical" plants and their roles in different cultures. The reader is presented with an insight into some little-known dimensions of the human encounter with altered states of consciousness.
