THE ACID DIARIES
A Psychonaut's Guide to the History and Use of LSD
Christopher Gray £14.99 978 -5947-73839 Pb
November 2010
In THE ACID DIARIES, Gray details his experimentation with LSD over a period of three years
and shares the startling realisation that his visions were weaving an ongoing story from trip to
trip, revealing an underlying reality of personal and spiritual truths. Following the theories of
Stanislav Grof and offering quotes from others' experiences that parallel his own—including
those of Aldous Huxley, Albert Hofmann, and Gordon Wasson—he shows that trips progress
through three stages: the first dealing with personal issues and pre-birth consciousness; the
second with ego-loss, often with supernatural overtones; and the third with sacred, spiritual,
and even apocalyptic themes. Pairing his experiences with an exploration of psychedelic use throughout history, including
the ergot-spawned mass hallucinations that were common through the Middle Ages and the early use of LSD for therapeutic
purposes, Gray offers readers a greater understanding and appreciation for the potential value of LSD not merely for

The Complete Guide to the Risks and Benefits of Cannabis
Julie Holland £16.99 978-15947-73686 Pb

Encompassing the broad spectrum of marijuana knowledge from stoner customs to scientific
research, this book investigates the top ten myths of marijuana; its physiological and psychological
effects; its risks; why joints are better than water pipes and other harm-reduction tips
for users; how humanity and cannabis have co-evolved for millennia; the brain's cannabisbased
neurochemistry; the complex politics of cannabis law; its potential medicinal uses for
cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, and other illnesses; its role in creativity, business,
and spirituality; and the complicated world of pot and parenting. As legalisation becomes
a reality, this book candidly offers necessary facts and authoritative opinions in a
society full of marijuana myths, misconceptions, and stereotypes.

Alex Polari de Alverga £14.99 978-15947-73983 Pb
November 2010
THE RELIGION OF AYAHUASCA is a story of a classic spiritual encounter comparable to the
Tibetan Saint Milarepa's search for his teacher Marpa. It is also an intimate account of the
genesis of an important religious tradition from its modest beginnings in Brazil to its growth
throughout the world, offering an inside look at the spiritually centred village of Mapiá—a
model for communities in the 21st century—and at the religious leader who helped create it.
Providing insight into the spiritual path the Daime offers, Alverga's tale reveals the new
depths of being made available through the sacred use of ayahuasca.
