Los Angeles: A patchwork megalopolis defined by its unlikely cultural collisions; the city that raised and shaped Roy Choi, the boundary-breaking chef who decided to leave behind fine dining to feed the city he loved—and, with the creation of the Korean taco, reinvented street food along the way.

Abounding with both the food and the stories that gave rise to Choi's inspired cooking, L.A. Son takes us through the neighborhoods and streets most tourists never see, from the hidden casinos where gamblers slurp fragrant bowls of pho to Downtown's Jewelry District, where a ten-year-old Choi wolfed down Jewish deli classics between diamond deliveries; from the kitchen of his parents' Korean restaurant and his mother's pungent kimchi to the boulevards of East L.A. and the best taquerias in the country, to, at last, the curbside view from one of his emblematic Kogi taco trucks, where people from all walks of life line up for a revolutionary meal.

Filled with over 85 inspired recipes that meld the overlapping traditions and flavors of L.A.—including Korean fried chicken, tempura potato pancakes, homemade chorizo, and Kimchi and Pork Belly Stuffed Pupusas—L.A. Son embodies the sense of invention, resourcefulness, and hybrid attitude of the city from which it takes its name, as it tells the transporting, unlikely story of how a Korean American kid went from lowriding in the streets of L.A. to becoming an acclaimed chef.

Review
Street-wise, honest in its admission of trials and punctuated with vernacular swagger, Choi’s debut pays tribute to family and his enduring fascination with the melting pot of Los Angeles. (Kirkus Reviews)

“While [Jacques] Pepin’s autobiography was the epitome of the traditional chef’s life, it may be that Choi’s will be the same for the new generation … “L.A. Son,” co-written with Tien Nguyen and Natasha Phan, pops with Choi’s hip-hop verbal rhythms.” (Los Angeles Times)

‘With driving metaphors coming fast and furious throughout this memoir cum cookbook, there is no doubting and no pulling away from Choi’s gritty embrace of L.A.’s mean streets.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“Choi is the rare chef whose life story--which includes working with chef Eric Ripert and a weeklong cocaine binge--is as compelling as his food.” (Food & Wine)

“At the moment, Roy Choi is one of the most prominent lenses the nation has into L.A.” (Los Angeles Times)

His beautiful book .... is two parts story (Choi’s coming up), one part recipe (his OMG crazy good creations, like ketchup fried rice). You may never cook from this book (though the recipes are eminently doable), but it won’t matter. It’s a fun flip even if all you do is drool.” (Associated Press)

“A a memoir-cookbook that moves like a novel.” (New York Times, cover of 'Dining' Section, in article about Roy's new restaurant)

“In its pages, and even more so in person, one finds in Choi a personality who is at once high-end and low-end, flawed and at the top of his game, relentless and chill, coarse and refined-and absolutely, unapologetically authentic.” (Ad Week)

About the Author
Chef Roy Choi showed talent as a teenager, attended the Culinary Institute of America, and made his name in restaurants. But it was selling Korean tacos out of a food truck in 2009 that put him on the food map. In a 2013 talk at Ren Redzepi's MAD Symposium, he challenged chefs to not just "cook for rich people" and to find ways that they could feed more than just the privileged.

Buy for Biography, Not for Recipes
By A. Weitz
I'm lucky that I live in LA and can eat at a Roy Choi spot at least twice a month. My favorite is Chego but A-Frame and Sunny Spot are also great. (I gave up on trying to find the Kogi trucks and honestly, I lost patience with having to wait on those long food truck lines.) But my point is: I love Roy Choi's food. The Sour Cream Hen House is probably among my top 5 things to eat in all of LA.

That's part of why I was disappointed with this book. I was hoping for some recipes that resembled some of the amazing dishes I've tried at Choi's restaurants -- the pickles and dressing at A-Frame, the meatballs at Chego, the wings at Sunny Spot, and so on. Instead, the book contains recipes like Roy Choi's version of Scott Conant's spaghetti and tomato sauce (there's also a separate recipe for spaghetti with chili sauce.) I appreciate how he intersperses recipes while telling his life story but that's why I think this book works better as a biography first and the recipes as a bonus. The recipes are in the book for nostalgia and sentimental value -- not because they're unique or groundbreaking. This is the bummer.

The other thing is, I've had this book for a couple of weeks and I've tried several of the recipes with varying results. One of the things I like about Roy Choi, besides how his food tastes, is his philosophy and his "keeping it real" roots. I'm glad the cookbook is riddled with f-bombs and real, raw emotion. It makes for a fascinating read. My only problem is with the recipes. They're written as if Roy Choi was standing next to you, telling you how to do it, which is cool. Except -- I always seem to have a question about the recipe. It almost seems like nobody tested or proofread the recipes. A perfect example of this is how the $4 Spaghetti recipe differs in the Food & Wine recipe version from the book version. It's really different -- from cooking times to the amount of olive oil to use and so on. The Food & Wine version is more succinct and easier to do. But it also answers questions like, "What the hell do I do with the mushrooms now?" The book never tells you that you're making a mushroom stock and should discard them. This is a common thread through the book. (And the truth is, the $4 pasta isn't so great after the 4 hours of cooking that goes into it.)

So, my main knock is that there don't seem to be any real, signature Roy Choi dishes here from any of his restaurants -- and instead you get recipes for a lot of humdrum dishes that don't really have that Roy Choi flavor he's known for (e.g., there's a recipe for baked sliced potatoes with butter -- this is where his nostalgia overtakes reader expectations.) My other knock is that the recipes are not really easy to follow -- or they presume a lot of the reader. I'm not a chef -- I'm just a fan of Roy who likes to cook.

That said, Roy's personal story is inspiring and he seems like a cool, genuine person. He's had a huge impact on cuisine in LA and beyond and for that alone, this book is worth reading. But don't buy it expecting the magician to reveal any of his well-known tricks.

Overhyped.
By FoolsGold
This part autobiography, part cookbook is a bit over hyped. The man, the myth (ok maybe not myth) Mr. Roy Choi, not to be confused with all the other Roy Choi's you might know. I had high expectations for this book and felt compelled to give it at least four stars, but yet I'm giving it 3 stars. I love some of his food (Kogi), repulsed by some of his food (Chego), and have a similar but much less exciting background as him (minority growing up in a mostly white LA suburb having somewhat of an identity crisis). The hardcover book itself is printed on some high quality thick paper and I do admire the artistic creative photos contained through out the book. His autobiography can be slow and a snoozer at times, but does a good job explaining why his cooking today is the way it is. My problem with the book are the recipes. Some recipes are hits, most are mediocre and are not worth spending half a day in the kitchen. Some recipes are down right insulting: Roasted Sweet Potatoes (potatoes, salt, roasted at 350...can we say "filler material"?) I'm probably one of the few customers who bought the book, who has tried to actually make some of the recipes. Here's some tidbits and my take on the recipes:

- You will need access to a Latino supermarket and a Korean and/or Thai supermarket to make most of the recipes. This should come as no surprise given Choi's background and influences. If you don't have easy access to these markets, I wouldn't waste your time. Ordering ingredients online won't cut it.
- Be prepared to burn a lot of time in the kitchen literally (see below)
- You need a blender/food processor to make a lot of these marinades and sauces along with knives, pots, pans etc.
- If you are diabetic/overweight/health conscious do not attempt at home.
Recipes I've tried:
"$4 Spaghetti that tastes almost as good as $24 spaghetti" - Should be titled "$4 spaghetti that taste just like $4 spaghetti". Complete waste of time. I get the lesson Choi is trying to teach. You make a mushroom stock and garlic confit to liven up a cheap lowly can of Hunt's tomatoes. But it takes 5 hours to make this (oh yes I did!) and it doesn't taste any better than heating up a a $1.79 jar of Trader Joe's marinara sauce.
Kalbi Plate - This was delicious but no different from every other Korean person's Kalbi recipe.
Pork Fried Rice - Well s***, I marinaded the pork belly and over baked it to the T except the book didn't mention that the pork belly needs to be in one big slab, not cut up in thick slices like you buy at the Korean market. Hello petrified wood pork belly!
Carne Asada - One of the better recipes I've tried in the book. Good to put in my wannabe Kogi quesadilla (see below).
Salsa Verde - Not like addictive green stuff found in the plastic buckets in front of your local taco truck. This one is a bit more creamy and more citrusy. Next time I'd only put in a quarter of an avocado, not a half and maybe a little less cilantro.
Perfect Instant Ramen - Sadly and ironically the best recipe I've tried in the book so far. Melted American cheese and butter mimic the milky broth in Hakata tonkatsu broth. I add a couple of sheets of nori in mine for an extra oomph of umami.

Although the recipes I've tried so far in the book have been very lackluster, using my own ingenuity and ripping-off skills, I managed to make a wannabe version of a Kogi bbq dish. Try this and get back to me:

"Kogi Burrito, But Not Really" - Carne Asada recipe from the book (or go buy the 1/2 off quick sale bulgogi at the Galleria market after 8pm), shredded jack cheese, shredded mild cheddar cheese, caramelized kimchi (fry it in butter), scrambled egg, caramelized onions (optional), cilantro (optional) sesame seeds, sesame seed oil. Dump all that in a 12 inch heated tortilla experimenting with different ratios of ingredients to your liking. Can also make it into a quesadilla. If you actually made the Salsa Verde in the book, drench your burrito/quesadilla in it. F-ing delicious.

Who'd ever thought the best recipe I learned wasn't even in the book?

Great read
By chefandm32
I am a native Angelino and Chef displaced in New England. that said Roy made my heart flutter with his thoughts, realities and experiences that only happen in L.A.. This is more of a memoir than a cook book . A good read but the recipes might be tough if you havent eaten much street food. I read it all in one day and was surprised that there was such a small nod to his classical training, I have eaten his food. He is very talented no question. These recipes are the tacos, dirty dogs and messed up hybrids of food that many of us grew up on , and that is awesome! I would kill for some Korean BBQ off of Olympic Blvd but in Ma that aint happenin. Roy can guide you to some good Korean soul food and a good feel for the food of L.A..I would recommend this to L.A. expats as you will smile every 3 minutes of reading. As well as those who want to experience that small but important region of the country. FYI if you are offended by expletives especially the F word this is not for you. No matter where you are find a moment of sun make a pork belly taco and smile cause your doin it Cali style.

Another great book from Chelsea and Tony
By WayneT
I have all of Tony's and Chelsea's books and haven't gone wrong with any of them. Their books are concise, easy to read and have the information outlined in a logical manner. I purchase the Kindle books because of the videos, they do upgrade the subject matter over time and they have done a fantastic job of editing them for the Kindle. The Photoshop book is full of graphics with concise clear explanation of the inner workings of Photoshop. Don't miss this one.

The pace is good for quick or slow learners (me) and the information ...
By R. Hoskins
Just follow along and at the end you will know how to use Photoshop. The pace is good for quick or slow learners (me) and the information is accurate. I used it in Kindle, put tutorial on one side of screen (actually a second monitor) and opened Photoshop on the other, easy to pause the videos or scroll the text. All of the Northrup material is very good, Youtube, etc.

A bit confusing to follow
By MJB9
I'll update the stars up or down as I go through the book. However, I'm on page 5 and already issues/confusion. I love Tony and Chelsea, watch a lot of the videos, and have three of their books.

Page 5 goes into editing from LR to PS. I just happened to select a JPEG, which now I know shows a different option than in the book (which must of been a RAW file). But it took me some head pounding google searching to figure out why I was presented with three options (e.g. edit original) vs. what the book showed. Which brings up another good point. I was hoping/expecting more step by step to go hand in hand with the book, the videos, and the samples from the downloads. i.e. like the SDP book, you read, and then you follow a link/bar code to a video. And further, it would be nice if the book/video said to open file xyz in chapter 123.

Which brings up another issue. The videos are clumped together and "not" labelled by chapter. And the labeling is not consistent with the book. While some videos, like "adjustment layers," follow the book, other like "healing, cloning and patching," do not. I'm stuck trying to figure out what chapter to read, what video(s) to watch, and what files to open. It's VERY confusing.

While not a perfect solution, this is an easy fix "if" the videos online were relabeled to more closely follow the book. i.e. Chapter 1 Quick start, Chapter 1 Tools, Chapter 2 adjustment layers, etc for both the book and the videos. There are videos that don't line up with the book, or they may, but you can't tell by how they are named--one is left guessing in most cases.

Update 1: 5 minutes later and onto next issue, on page 9. Book says to use photography workspace--check, I am. Then it says, without saying where, to use the Adjustments panel. Well, it's not there. after pounding my head some more, you have to select "Window" from top of screen, and then select Adjustments. Man, this is tough!

Update 2: I figure I'd try a different approach and start next with videos versus the book. I click on tools, which I think/guess is the first video to watch. And while I could use any picture to follow along, I look, but can't find a picture of that bird in the first 4 chapters. Maybe it's in later chapters, but to my point, there's no flow to the book, videos are sample pics.

Update 3: Watching the tools video. At one point it goes over red eye tool. I'm looking and looking and it's not there. I check workspace and photography is selected. After some head banging, I figure out to customize the toolbar and add it. However, for a new install, and having selected the photography workspace, I would think I'd have a similar screen/toolbar to that of the video.

Some good models for the advanded folder
By Bruce Horner
Instructions are clear and well printed, with very few mistakes which do not distract from the overall quality of the book and the models. Full colour photos of actual completed models are included for additional guidance as well as sizing ratio to give an idea of how large/small the final model will be compared to the initial paper size. All but one of the models (Airbus 320) are folded from a single piece of square paper. I found a couple of the models looked a bit odd (and it wasn't just me as the book's photos show them, such as the autogyros, equally unusual), and very difficult to hold their form due to many layers of paper, but there are some excellent models here (notably, Messershmitt Bf109).

Certain 'standard' steps such as forming wheels at the end of landing gear struts are omitted and this makes the book aimed at the more advanced/experienced folder.

There are some great techniques here, to produce the multiple sets of propellers for example, that you can use in your own designs. Overall, a very good addition to the origami book catalogue. Recommended.

Intermediate to Advanced
By tim dunn
I've been doing origami for many years, and found I had problems with some of the models in this book because the transitions weren't as clear as I needed them. I suspect those with more advanced skills could make sens of them, but I wasn't happy with a few of the models because I didn't feel the diagrams were clear enough.

"WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES isn't just another book. It is a gift of profound insight, wisdom, and love. An oracle from one who knows."
Alice Walker
Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller shows how women's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the ruins of the female unconsious. Using multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories, Dr. Estes helps women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype.
Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.

From Publishers Weekly
Folklore, fairy tales and dream symbols are called on to help restore women's neglected intuitive and instinctive abilities in this earthy first book by a Jungian analyst. According to Estes, wolves and women share a psychic bond in their fierceness, grace and devotion to mate and community. This comparison defines the archetype of the Wild Woman, a female in touch with her primitive side and able to rely on gut feelings to make choices. The tales here, from various cultures, are not necessarily about wolves; instead, they illuminate fresh perspectives on relationships, self-image, even addiction. An African tale of twins who baffle a man represents the dual nature of woman; from the Middle East, a story about a threadbare but secretly magic carpet shows society's failure to look beyond appearances. Three brief, ribald stories advocate a playful, open sexuality; other examples suggest ways to deal with anger and jealousy. At times, Estes's commentary--in which she urges readers to draw upon and enjoy their Wild Woman aspects--is hyperbolic, but overall her widely researched study offers usable advice for modern women.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Kirkus Reviews
A feminist counterpart to Iron John--or, how ``a healthy woman is much like a wolf.'' Est‚s, a Jungian analyst, believes that a woman's wholeness depends on her returning to the sources of her repressed instinctual nature. To illustrate the ways of the ``wild woman,'' the author draws on myths, legends, and fairy tales from a vast and eclectic range of traditions. This collection of stories may well be the most valuable element of the book, which otherwise reads like unedited transcripts of the workshops Est‚s leads to encourage women to return to their ``feral'' roots. Each story demonstrates a particular aspect of woman's experience--relationship, creativity, anger, spirituality, etc. Est‚s finds evidence in the most diverse tales of the necessity for women to reclaim their wildness. The precise nature of this wildness is difficult to fathom, but, at best, it seems to include a genuine capacity to access feelings and to accept one's contradictions, while, at worst, it appears to amount to the kind of self-indulgence that prevailed during the ``me'' generation. Est‚s claims that her book is for every woman, ``whether you be spicy or somber, regal or roughshod''; but her underlying assumption that every woman is free to abandon what holds her back seems ignorant of social and economic realities. The author provides few concrete examples that might help women understand what she expects them to do, and her prose abounds in generalizations and oddities (``the ambitious woman...who is heartfelt toward her accomplishments'') that further undermine her credibility and her considerable scholarship. Hortatory, ecstatic, and, ultimately, irritating. -- Copyright �1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

The 15th Read in 2006
By MythDoctor
Since this book was first published in 1992, I have made it my New Year's resolution to re-read Women Who Run with the Wolves every year. I have given more copies of this book away than I can remember - and I am thrilled to do so. I begin again in 2006 for the 15th full reading (though I pick a page throughout the year to journal with and 'wake me up'.)

To begin the wondrous journey of discovery to my wild and intutive self is a gift and a new journey to uncovering the jewel within. New depths of power are accessed with every reading and I am bathed in feminine myth and mystery. This book has inspired me to design, write, accomplish and accept fulfillment at so many levels. Please read this book. Women Who Run with the Wolves is a MUST tool for every female. It's a treasure. Elaine Maginn Sonne, PhD, Author Legends of the Stones.

One of my Favorite Books
By Hana
I've been very slowly reading this book over the past year since purchasing it... thankfully I have a few chapters left still! It's going to be a sad day when I finish it.... but I guess I'll just flip back the pages and start over when that happens :) This is a wonderful book -- the premises of each chapter have somehow seemed to match up with circumstances in my life as I've read it and has been exactly what I needed to hear in each phase. I've always been fascinated by fairy tales, and having them brought to life in this way and then dissected is brilliant. Clarissa Pinkola Estes is an amazing storyteller and writer, and I can't even imagine the research and time that must have gone into creating this book. Women Who Run With the Wolves is inspiring, challenging, empowering, and powerful. Read it!!

Interesting examination of archetype and myth and women
By D. Jorgensen
This is an academic examination of myth and women. If you are familiar with Joseph Campbell and archetypes, you understand what I mean. Once I got used to Estes' writing style, I enjoyed the book much more, and I have learned quite a bit. Much of what I've learned is applicable to my life and understanding the lives of other women. All in all, a useful book. If you're studying psychology, women's studies, archetype and myth, you'll find this very useful.

Be the very first who are reviewing this Robotics, Vision And Control: Fundamental Algorithms In MATLAB (Springer Tracts In Advanced Robotics), By Peter Corke Based upon some factors, reading this publication will offer more benefits. Also you have to read it detailed, web page by web page, you could complete it whenever and also anywhere you have time. Once again, this on-line e-book Robotics, Vision And Control: Fundamental Algorithms In MATLAB (Springer Tracts In Advanced Robotics), By Peter Corke will certainly give you simple of reviewing time and task. It likewise offers the encounter that is cost effective to reach as well as acquire substantially for better life.

The practice of robotics and computer vision both involve the application of computational algorithms to data. Over the fairly recent history of the fields of robotics and computer vision a very large body of algorithms has been developed. However this body of knowledge is something of a barrier for anybody entering the field, or even looking to see if they want to enter the field — What is the right algorithm for a particular problem?, and importantly, How can I try it out without spending days coding and debugging it from the original research papers?

The author has maintained two open-source MATLAB Toolboxes for more than 10 years: one for�robotics and one for vision. The key strength of the Toolboxes provide a set of tools that allow the user to work with real problems, not trivial examples. For the student the book makes the algorithms accessible, the Toolbox code can be read to gain understanding, and the examples illustrate how it can be used —instant gratification in just a couple of lines of MATLAB code. The code can also be the starting point for new work, for researchers or students, by writing programs based on Toolbox functions, or modifying the Toolbox code itself.

The purpose of this book is to expand on the tutorial material provided with the� toolboxes, add many more examples, and to weave this into a narrative that covers robotics and computer vision separately and together. The author shows how complex problems can be decomposed and solved using just a few simple lines of code, and hopefully to inspire up and coming researchers. The topics covered are guided by the real problems observed over many years as a practitioner of both robotics and computer vision. It is written in a light but informative style, it is easy to read� and absorb, and includes a lot of Matlab examples and figures. The book is a real walk through the fundamentals of robot kinematics, dynamics and joint level control, then camera models, image processing, feature extraction and epipolar geometry, and bring it all together in a�visual servo system.

Review

From the reviews:

“I like the book and the provided code. I think that this book is good to give you an overview of a bunch of key robotics topics … . If you are looking at testing an algorithm, getting a high level understanding, or getting a guide … to use the tool boxes then this book is for you. Also if you are a student looking to learn by implementation … then this book will be good for you.” (robotsforroticists.com, March, 2014)

“Good reading for starters in the field, but also for experienced researchers or practitioners. It is a pleasure to go through this book. It is written like an encyclopedia about robotics and computer vision … also, throughout the entire manuscript one can find the Matlab code for testing the presented theory. The author is also the creator of the two Matlab toolboxes robotics and machine vision, so there is probably no better way to understand and follow the topics than from the current book.” (Catalin Stoean, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1233, 2012)

Great book!
By Felipe N. Martins
This is a great book for those who want to practice robotic concepts in MATLAB! The (free) robotics toolbox is a great tool to work with manipulators, and the book has several examples with real robots (like the famous PUMA). It also has some useful tools for mobile robots, but it only deals with the car-like and the quadrotor models. It misses the widely applied unicycle model, although it is ease to adapt the toolbox to work with the unicycle as well.
I didn't have time to get to the machine vision part, but the final part of the book unites robotics and machine vision, dealing with visual control for robots.
I think it is a very nice book for everybody that works with robotics!

Great for robotics algorithm fundamentals and programming implementation.
By Alex Lavin
A published robotics researcher myself, I find this is one of the most useful books I've come across. It excels in detailing both algorithm fundamentals and their actual implementations. The accompanying MATLAB toolbox is thorough, readable, and efficient.

World-renowned anthropologist and ethnopharmacologist Christian Ratsch provides the latest scientific updates to this classic work on psychoactive flora by two eminent researchers.

• Numerous new and rare color photographs complement the completely revised and updated text.

• Explores the uses of hallucinogenic plants in shamanic rituals throughout the world.

• Cross-referenced by plant, illness, preparation, season of collection, and chemical constituents.

Three scientific titans join forces to completely revise the classic text on the ritual uses of psychoactive plants. They provide a fascinating testimony of these "plants of the gods," tracing their uses throughout the world and their significance in shaping culture and history. In the traditions of every culture, plants have been highly valued for their nourishing, healing, and transformative properties. The most powerful of those plants, which are known to transport the human mind into other dimensions of consciousness, have always been regarded as sacred. The authors detail the uses of hallucinogens in sacred shamanic rites while providing lucid explanations of the biochemistry of these plants and the cultural prayers, songs, and dances associated with them. The text is lavishly illustrated with 400 rare photographs of plants, people, ceremonies, and art related to the ritual use of the world's sacred psychoactive flora.

Review
"This superbly illustrated, encyclopedic volume provides a much needed, well-balanced scientific perspective on the use of hallucinogenic plants. Richard Evans Schultes, the worlds most eminent ethnobotanist, and Albert Hofmann, the former research director at Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, emphasize the need for continued education about both the potential benefits and the inherent dangers involved in the use of hallucinogens." (Shaman's Drum)

"Carefully researched, beautifully written, and abundantly illustrated, this book reminds us that the use of hallucinogenic plants has been a fundamental part of the human experience for millennia." (Michael R. Aldrich, Ph.D., Curator Fitz Hugh Ludlow Library)

"It contains an incredible amount of rigorous and fascinating information in a highly accessible, beautiful, and compelling format." (Journal of Scientific Exploration, October 2003)

"Richard Evans Schultes has been the nexus of almost everything interesting and supportive concerned with economic and cultural uses of plants. Plants of the Gods gives precise and illuminating portraits of the many peoples of the Earth who pay homage to and gain insights with the aid of psychedelic plants: an exquisite, thoroughly scholarly book." (Whole Earth Review)

About the Author
A specialist in the cultural use of psychoactive plants, Christian Ratsch is the author of numerous books, including Gateway to Inner Space, The Dictionary of Sacred and Magical Plants, and the forthcoming Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants. A resident of Germany, he is currently serving as the president of the German Society for Ethnomedicine. Richard Evans Schultes (1915-2001) was a Jeffrey Professor of Biology and Director of the Botanical Museum at Harvard University, considered by many to be the father of modern ethnobotany. Albert Hofmann (1906-2008), discoverer of LSD, was a world renowned research biochemist.

they are just showing you what the plants look like and telling you what they do in as few ...
By Mark
Amazingly well put together book on entheogenic drug-producing plants. This book has a large array of color pictures and you will literally get immersed in the subject. It is head and shoulders above thousands of similar books which might have a smattering of pictures hidden within hundreds of pages of text. This book is just the opposite - high quality pictures everywhere and the text is only what it needs to be. The authors aren't trying to prove some hypothesis, they are just showing you what the plants look like and telling you what they do in as few words as possible. It comes off as a high-art coffee-table type of book, being salient yet poetic. This book would make an EXCELLENT gift and I can't recommend it enough.

Superb Ethnobotanical Reference
By Stuart Gardner
There are plenty of books scientific (or otherwise) on the actions of hallucinogenic plants (from every possible viewpoint). What sets this book apart is providing a sound description of the chemical properties of plants together with the spiritual context in which they are used.

It isn't packed with biochemical formulae, but at the same time has enough information on active ingredients to provide a starting point for understanding and further research (if desired). For those interested in biochemical properties of plants CRC Press publish a range of comprehensive but expensive guides.

The author also provides a cultural context, describing how the plants are/were used by societies both past and present during religious rights. Folklore is also very well covered (my main interest with this book - as an aside there is little of culinary interest within text).

The pictures of plants (and people) are superb. There are also some fascinating diagrams (world map showing indigenous hallucinogens), and a pictures showing illustrating the role of hallucinogens on aboriginal and western art.

The writing style makes this work much more accessible and enjoyable to read than other texts. The text is supported by excellent illustrations. Plants of the Gods is in a class of it's own.

Researchers Overview
By J. Woodson
The authors Richard Schultes, director of the Botanical Museum at Harvard and Albert Hofmann, discoverer of LSD and former director of the Pharmaceutical-Chemical Research Lab in Basel, Switzerland, together have over fourteen years of research in field of botany, chemistry and ethnobotony. In their book the authors offer an ethnobological look at the sacred use of hallucinogenic plants and include: an introduction to hallucinogenic plants, a plant lexicon, overview of plant use chart, detailed section of fourteen major hallucinogenic plants, and concludes with an overview of the chemical structure of hallucinogens.
The plant lexicon includes ninety-one known and most common hallucinogenic plants with: a colored picture for each plant, botanical name, geographic location, hallucinogenic properties and a short description of the individual plant. Following the lexicon is a chart overview of each plant that includes: usage in history, context and purpose, preparation, chemical components and effects. Following the chart is a detailed account fourteen major hallucinogenic plants. "Most of these plants are or have been culturally and materially important...that they can not be overlooked "(81). The authors include: a descriptive history, gathering techniques, rituals, the chemical make-up of the plant, pictures of ceremonies, and artwork of "visions" by people.
Plants of the Gods is more than a research book, it is a guide to understanding the role hallucinogens play in various religious cultures using a scientific and anthropological approach.

This review is based on the 1992 publication:
Schultus, Richard E., and Albert Hofmann. Plants of the Gods: Their Sacred, Healing, and Hallucinogenic Powers. Rochester: Healing Arts Press, 1992.
