Description: "This companion volume to Schultes' previous work is a superb collection of photos taken during 20 years of research in the Colombian Amazon. Thematically organized around the 'visionary vines' (banisteriopsis, ayahuasca), hallucinogenic plants and snuffs among native peoples, volume ranges widely over ethnobotany, shamanism, art, ritual, and natural phenomena in western Amazonia. Minimal text is accompanied by citations from other ethnographies"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 281-284).
