Wine versus Hashish -- Hashish in Muslim Society -- God&#x;s Unruly Friends -- The Assassin Legend -- Not for Everybody -- Chapter Five: Asian Origins. Historic India -- The Prehistoric Eurasian Steppes -- The Silk Road and Beyond -- The Earliest Horizon -- Chapter Six: Epiphanies."This engaging book traces the global history of marijuana, reaching back thousands of years. Noted historian John Charles Chasteen follows the use of the drug since Neolithic times, which makes marijuana among the first domesticated plants. Surprisingly, though, only infrequently has it been used as a recreational drug. Instead, there is a vibrant spiritual dimension to its long history that has been continually ignored. Beginning with the familiar "outbreak" of the 1960s, Chasteen unearths successive layers of marijuana's history. Written with insight, clarity, sophistication, and good humor, this deeply informed work discusses the cultivation of cannabis and its many forms, including hemp, one of the world's principal fiber crops. After a tour of Latin America, Africa, India, and the Muslim world, Chasteen concludes that unlike alcohol marijuana has always flourished outside the mainstream. Its principal users have been creative outsiders of many kinds--mystics, artists, musicians, free thinkers, and spiritual seekers--as well as poor laborers attracted by its low cost. Marijuana, it seems, is a mind-expanding drug after all, and Chasteen explores its rich heritage with captivating insight." -- Publisher's description

Includes bibliographical references (pages 166-170) and index.Close to the soil -- Julie to Frankenstein to Heidi -- Painting the Rockie, invoking the Alps -- Nature, God, and HashishInspired by the grandeur of 'the Rockies and the Alps', American and European artists strove to capture their power in paint. In the mid-19th century, when photographers, scientists, and armchair travellers were awakening to these wonders, improved transportation and accommodations made mountains and glaciers more accessible. This richly illustrated volume brings together dazzling depictions of the Rockies and the Alps, while investigating how geology, flora and fauna, and social and literary contexts relate to the rise of alpine landscape painting.

Rebel souls : Walt Whitman and America's first Bohemians / by Martin, Justin,author.(CARDINAL)640159;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-315) and index.A visit to Pfaff's -- Bohemia crosses the Atlantic -- A long table in a vaulted room -- Whitman at a crossroads -- Hashish and Shakespeare -- Bold women and Whitman's beautiful boys -- The Saturday Press -- Leaves, third edition -- Year of meteors -- Becoming Artemus Ward -- "The heather is on fire" -- Whitman to the front -- Bohemia goes West -- The soldiers' missionary -- Twain shall they meet -- "O heart! heart! heart!" -- A brief revival -- All fall down -- "Those times, that place.""In the shadow of the Civil War, a circle of radicals in a rowdy saloon changed American society and helped set Walt Whitman on the path to poetic immortality. Rebel Souls is the first book ever written about the colorful group of artists-- regulars at Pfaff's Saloon in Manhattan-- rightly considered America's original Bohemians. Besides a young Whitman, the circle included actor Edwin Booth; trailblazing stand-up comic Artemus Ward; psychedelic drug pioneer and author Fitz Hugh Ludlow; and brazen performer Adah Menken, famous for her Naked Lady routine. Central to their times, the artists managed to forge connections with Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, and even Abraham Lincoln. Justin Martin shows how this first bohemian culture--imported from Paris to a dingy Broadway saloon--seeded and nurtured an American tradition of rebel art that thrives to this day. "--
