Albert Hofmann
Ergot Alkaloids. History, Chemistry and Therapeutic Uses
First published in 1964, Hofmann’s account is finally available to the anglophone world. Ergot has a colorful history and is just fascinating in its vital applications, from contracting and blood stemming preparation used in childbirth, to treatment for migraine headaches, as a geriatric, and as a mind-alerting remedy. Of equal interest is ergot’s botany, the grains it grows upon being vital for our nourishment. The importance of ergot in medicine cannot be overestimated. (SGS)

Lucy Sante
I Heard Her Call My Name. A Memoir of Transition
Born in Belgium to conservative, working-class parents, Lucy Sante was transplanted to the United States, where a feeling of home finally arrived when she moved to New York City in the early 1970s amidst her fellow bohemians. Some of her friends died young, from drugs and AIDS, others became jarringly famous. When she was finally ready, Lucy decided to confront the façade she’d been presenting to everyone, including herself, over these years. I Heard Her Call My Name is the story of that confrontation, of a life with a missing piece that, with transition, falls into place.
