Women and Psychedelics. Uncovering Invisible Voices. A Chacruna Anthology<\/h3>\t\t\t

Erika Dyck, Clancy Cavnar, Partick Farrell, Ibrahim Gabriell, Beatriz C. Labate, Glauber Loures de Assis (Eds.)<\/strong>
\nThis collection of short essays examines the place of women in the history of psychedelics. While some of the subjects are pioneers in their own right, the authors in this collection go beyond merely adding women to the past in psychedelic history, exploring some of the significant ways that women have contributed to psychedelic knowledge. It is the first collection of its kind to balance non-English contributions through translation of stories exploring different cultural contexts outside the United States, where women have contributed to this enduring history.

Blotter. The Untold Story of an Acid Medium<\/h3>\t\t\t

Erik Davis<\/strong>
\nThe first comprehensive account of the history, art, and design of LSD blotter paper, the iconic drug delivery device that will perhaps forever be linked to underground psychedelic culture and contemporary street art. Created in collaboration with Mark McCloud\u2019s Institute of Illegal Images, the world\u2019s largest archive of blotter art, Davis\u2019s boldly illustrated exhibition treats his outsider subject with the serious, art-historical respect it deserves, while also staying true to the sense of play, irreverence, and adventure inherent in psychedelic exploration.

Summoned by the Earth. Becoming a Holy Vessel for Healing Our World<\/h3>\t\t\t

Cynthia Jurts<\/strong>
\nThe most pressing question in these uncertain times may well be. How can we bring healing and protection to the Earth? It was this very question that Cynthia Jurs carried with her in 1990 as she climbed a path high in the Himalayas, to meet an \u201cold wise man in a cave\u201d\u2014a venerated lama from Nepal. In response to her question, the old lama gave her a formidable assignment based on an ancient practice from Tibet: she must procure earth treasure vases made of clay and potent medicines, fill them with prayers and symbolic offerings, and bury them around the world where healing is called for. A fascinating journey!

Every Living Thing. The Great and Deadly Race to Know all Life<\/h3>\t\t\t

Jason Roberts<\/strong>
\nIn the 18th century, two men dedicated their lives to identifying and describing all life on Earth. Carl Linnaeus believed that life belonged in tidy, static categories. Georges-Louis de Buffon viewed life as a dynamic swirl of complexities. Each began his task believing it to be difficult but not impossible: How could the planet possibly hold more than a few thousand species \u2013 or as many as could fit on Noah\u2019s Ark? Both fell far short of their goal, but in the process they articulated starkly divergent views on nature, the future of the Earth, and humanity itself.
