Review

Absorbing... anyone seeking to pass an opinion on drugs should own a copy --The Independent

an excellent book... it states with precision as well as poetry the nature of the drug experience. --Nick Lezard's Pick of the Week in The Guardian

Intelligent, witty and cogent Emperors of Dreams is one of the best books on drugs I have come across. --Julian Keeling in The new Statesman

Product Description

A new, fully revised and updated version of the acclaimed history of drugs first published in 2000. In a series of vivid narratives, Emperors of Dreams relates how today's illlicit drugs such as cannabis, opium and cocaine were first discovered, and explores their impact on the nineteenth century's dreams and nightmares.'
