This is the second volume of North Atlantic Books’ hard cover edition of Dale Pendell's Pharmako trilogy, an encyclopedic study of the history and uses of psychoactive plants and related synthetics first published between 1995 and 2005. The books form an interrelated suite of works that provide the reader with a unique, reliable, and often personal immersion in this medically, culturally, and spiritually fascinating subject. All three books are beautifully designed and illustrated, and are written with unparalleled authority, erudition, playfulness, and range. Pharmako/Dynamis: Stimulating Plants, Potions, and Herbcraft focuses on stimulants (including coffee, tea, chocolate, and coca and its derivatives) and empathogens (notably Ecstasy). Each substance is explored in detail, not only with information on its history, pharmacology, preparation, and cultural and esoteric correspondences, but also the subtleties of each plant's effect on consciousness in a way that only poets can do. The whole concoction is sprinkled with abundant quotations from famous writers, creating a literary brew as intoxicating as its subject. The Pharmako series also includes Pharmako/Poeia (which covers tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, opiates, salvia divinorum, and other substances) and Pharmako/Gnosis (which addresses psychedelics and shamanic plants).

"Dale Pendell reactivates the ancient connection between the bardic poet and the shaman."--Terence McKenna In Pharmako/Dynamis, Dale Pendell continues his exploration of psychoactive plants begun in Pharmako/Poeia. Pharmacognosy is the study of the composition, production, use, and history of drugs of natural origin. Pendell covers these topics and more in this volume, charting a voyage around the world of plant teachers. Through poetry, chemistry, and a generous sprinkling of arcane lore, Pendell weaves and twists the many threads of tradition into a singularly bewitching brew. Pendell's voyage is a true circumnavigation. It divulges what Gary Synder called "dangerous knowledge" that is a formidable weapon against "even more dangerous ignorance." Dale Pendell is a poet, software engineer, and longtime student of ethnobotany. His poetry has appeared in many journals, and he was the founding editor of KUKSU: Journal of Backcountry Writing. He has led workshops on ethnobotany and ethnopoetics for the Naropa Institute and the Botanical Preservation Corps.

Pharmako/Dynamis je kniha pro „rostlinné lidi“, kteří zde najdou nádhernou tapisérii botaniky, odborné chemie, farmakologie a historie, bohatě protkanou básnickou imaginací, sugestivní směsí logiky a mytologickou tradicí. Nebo jinak. Alchymistické pojednání psané člověkem, jenž se sám vydal na „cestu jedů“, a čtenáři tak předkládá prožitý a tajuplný svět rostlin a látek měnících lidské vědomí. Ještě jinak. Postmoderní čtení pro všechny ty, jimž učaroval např. Terence McKenna a kteří pokračují stále dále. Že by... Struktura knihy je třírozměrná a holografická. Začněte odkudkoli. Čtěte ji pozpátku. Knihy jsou od přirozenosti lineární, ale to je pouze jeden z možných pohledů – jiná propojení mohou být mnohem smysluplnější. Hm... Dočtete se o stimulantech, resp. excitantech (Káva » Čaj » Kakao » Maté » Kola » Betel » Efedra » Kata » Koka » Amfetamin) a empatogenech (Muškát » Extáze » GHB). Čekal jsem něco jiného... „Cesta jedů“ není cesta pro každého, čtenář v knize nabyde „nebezpečné znalosti“, ty jsou však bezpečnější, než „nebezpečná neznalost“. Nakonec vám nezbyde než se zamyslet nad otázkou propojení stimulantů a kapitalismu. Co? Ale jak říkal kdysi už Paracelsus: „Všechno je jed, Nic je jed. Záleží na množství. Dílem alchymisty ale je oddělit jed od stromu poznání.“

With the mission to “lay naked before the world the true meaning of chocolate,” David Wolfe and Shazzie present a spirited and unconventional history, materia medica, and recipe book for the world’s most pleasurable food: chocolate. This book describes the wonders of cacao–where it comes from, how it is processed, its three varieties, and its origins and role in pre-Columbian cultures of the Americas. It explains the scientific properties and health benefits of chocolate, and elaborates how you will lose weight, soothe your heart, double your joy, increase your sensuality, nourish your intellect, and attract prosperity by eating it!In contrast to most books about chocolate, this one focuses on the raw cacao bean, or “naked” chocolate. Of course, this chocolate manual wouldn’t be complete without a step-by-step guide on what to do with the cacao beans, and over sixty original and mouthwatering chocolate recipes guaranteed to enhance your life.
