Tobacco and Shamanism in South America (Psychoactive Plants of the World Series)

"This book is a comprehensive ethnographic survey of the uses of tobacco in nearly three hundred Indian societies in South America...This meticulously written book ...is an awesome piece of scholarship which should be of interest not only to Wilbert's fellow anthropologists but also to scholars in medicine, pharmacology, and history, especially ethnohistory."-Virgil J. Vogel, Ethnohistory
