Review
"Obviously the finest collection on the subject and a must-read for anybody interested in ayahuasca." --Jeremy Narby
What sets Ayahuasca Reader apart from the works of Castaneda, Aldous Huxley and other tripping-for-science authors is its multitude of viewpoints, adding up to an impressive body of evidence. Readers who are fascinated by the uses of psychotropic plants among indigenous people will find Ayahuasca Reader one of the most impressive works in the field, and certainly the definitive book on this strange, little known plant. --Southwest Book Views, Winter 2004 Vol.3 No.1
"Its contents are so personal and appealing...inside we find reports of every possible perspective- from Richard Spruce's provincial, 19th century depiction...to the explorations of Westerners...to first hand encounters with the shamans, talking about their wars with other shamans, and their relationships with the plant teachers." --Runyan Wilde, Psychedelic Illuminations
