Reviews
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
Strange history, intriguing curiosities, unhappy lessons for would-be controllers of the cocaine trade and satisfaction for the armchair traveller await the reader of this handsomely produced paperback. This is a good 'read': it can be enjoyed for the charm of the history, the illustrative engravings ... and skilful translations of rare monographs.
NSW Society of the History of Medicine, 2003
An unusual mix of old and new… it will appeal to readers with an interest in the subject.
Medical Sciences History, 2003
This book contains unique information… covering virtually every topic from botany through growing techniques to chemistry and the economies of the trade a valuable source.
Medical History Australia, 2003
This is a book for serious researchers, toxicologists and forensic experts but will also appeal to historians, as drug history is now considered a legitimate and reasonable undertaking.
