MAPS: excellent new book

[Neal Goldsmith <neal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've just come across _Trips: How Hallucinogens Work in Your Brain_, an
unusual and very impressive new book by Cheryl Pellerin (NY: Seven Stories
Press, 1998).  The book is meant to provide technical information for the
average (drug-using) person.  It covers the history of hallucinogen
research, up to the latest NIH research on structure/activity
relationships, reviews what we know about the major psychedelics, AND is
generously illustrated by R. Crumb and the original Zap Comix artists.
Pellerin is a radical populist and quite a hoot (I had a very stimulating
hour-long, get-acquainted conversation with her and she is very much the
wise-cracking, skeptical reporter -- and very endearingly so, too).
