PSYCHEDELICS - ERIKA DYCK KARTONIERT (TB)

A gorgeously illustrated journey through psychedelics and their global history that explores
how psychedelic visions have inspired and given meaning to humans throughout time. Interest in
psychedelics has grown considerably in recent years—one might even say psychedelics are
experiencing a renaissance. But these mind-altering plants have always been with us. They have
a rich and controversial history  in fact: plumbed from the depths of ancient Greek culture 
infused with Christian symbols of sacrament  enriched by Buddhist philosophies  protected
through Indigenous ceremonies  and  by the latter part of the twentieth century  catapulted
into cultural consciousness through science  music  posters  blotter art  and fashion. In
Psychedelics: A Visual Odyssey  Erika Dyck takes readers on an epic visual trip through some of
the diverse ways that our fascination with psychedelics have been imagined throughout history.
Blending academic rigor with rich imagery from around the globe  Psychedelics goes beyond the
expected terrain of describing hallucinations. It reveals not only how psychedelic plants have
been illustrated and understood  but also how these plants and chemical synthetics have
inspired visual representations of health  fear  peace  colonial resistance  creativity  and
more. A stunningly beautiful and comprehensive deep dive into the world of psychedelics 
Psychedelics: A Visual Odyssey will inspire everyone from the curious general reader to the
seasoned psychonaut.
