paperback. Condition: Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. Professors Schultes and Raffauf in this new book take us on a journey to a place where healing with plants is the norm, and where ritual and magic play an essential role in everyday life. This book is the story of a time that was?when the… Amazon Indians, living in their verdant and expansive rainforest, had a minimum of contact with cultures of the outside world. Thus, we have a firsthand picture of traditional life in this region. In Vine of the Soul?a companion book to Where the Gods Reign?Drs. Schultes and Raffauf collaborate to produce an exceptional photographic essay accompanied by detailed descriptions of the Amazon Indian's use of medicinal and other sacred plant substances. Included are over 160 of the most significant photographs ever taken on this subject. "Quite simply a masterpiece. Vine of the Soul deserves to read by everyone interested in rainforests, indigenous peoples, shaman-ism, hallucinogens, ethnomedicine, and conservation." Mark Plotkin, V.P. Plant Conservation, Conservation International "We have here a wonderful integration of ethnobotany, chemistry and photography to produce a book that will long be an important historic record of one of the threatened cultures of the world. I hope that readers learning about ayahuasca, the vine of the soul, and other psycho-active drugs discussed here will have their concern heightened for the future fate of the Amazon Indians and their societies." Ghillean T. Prance, Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, from the Forward.
