Description

This is a book about the cultural history of drug abuse, a subject which has been largely unexplored in mainstream social history. Much is know about ''essentials'' such as food and clothing, but less about non-essential, non-rational products. Peculiar substances under examination include tobacco, tea, coffee, opium, cocaine, betel and kola.
