Publisher's Synopsis

What actually happens to you when you drink a cup of coffee? Is chocolate really an aphrodisiac? How do drugs like alcohol and cannabis work? Did psychedelics play a part in human evolution?

In this fascinating pocket book, leading psychedelic researcher Dr. Ben Sessa describes the drugs, legal and illegal, natural and synthesized, from nicotine to endorphins, sugar to antidepressants, that humans all over the world take every day to change their state of mind.

About the Publisher

Wooden Books

Wooden Books was founded in 1999 by designer John Martineau near Hay-on-Wye. The aim was to produce a beautiful series of recycled books based on the philosophies, arts and sciences. Using the Beatrix Potter formula of text facing picture pages, and old-styles fonts, along with hand-drawn illustrations and 19th century engravings, the books were designed not to date. Small but stuffed with information. Eco friendly and educational. Big ideas in a tiny space. There are over 1,000,000 Wooden Books now in print worldwide and growing, as readers from Canada to Korea, Greece to Spain, Japan to the Czech Republic all fall under the unique spell of this innovative series.
