AliceDbooks | Jan 23, 2021 | I have probably read this book well over 20 times. The countless rental stamps of the sole copy of this book at my university is solid proof of how much I loved this book. I'd love to find a way to purchase my own copy. While it doesn't go through with too much detail about individual hallucinogen plants, the eye watering gorgeous illustrations themselves make this book worth it for the artwork alone.

chuvanafloresta | 4 weitere Rezensionen | Feb 27, 2013 | The book serves as a souvenir for those who went to see the glass flowers of Harvard, and indeed it is lavishly illustrated with colour photographs. These photographs, however, because of chosen lighting conditions and composition, disguise the fact they picture glass objects. As if they have to demonstrate that the models are true to nature indeed.
Most of the text is on botany, by scholars for scholars, and reveals little about the glass flowers.
Leaves the introduction that is informative, yet the authors could have done a much better job. Details on designs and design processes, tools, properties of glass, what you can and what you cannot do when shaping glass: if it is there at all, it is not there in depth.
I wish I could say this is a good book, but its concept is outdated.½

specimens | 1 weitere Rezension | Apr 17, 2008 | This is the only book I own that I will never lend out, I really treasure it as it has a wealth of information on hallucogenic plants, their cultural backgrounds and uses, and the pharmacology involved. It's intelligent and scolarly without being dry and inaccessible, well illustrated with drawings and photos. A great reference book.½

charlytune | 4 weitere Rezensionen | Mar 13, 2008 | The Ware collection of glass flowers at Harvard University is one of the most amazing artistic and scientific works of the 19th Century. The flowers were hand blown and tinted by the Bohemian glass artist, Blaschka. This book contains pictures of a small sampling of this vast collection and background information about its creation.

Beautifully illustrated with art, poetry, and hundreds of photos, this book is a respectful study of the biology, chemistry, anthropology, history, and culture of the use and cultivation of entheogens. Fascinating revelations about how plants & humans co-evolved.
