Reviews
Samorini's observations support his controversial hypothesis that human drug-taking derives from a universal biologically-based drive to alter consciousness. This perspective on drug-taking behavior can only enlarge our own views about the phenomenon which, in many humans, has become so contentious., This must be one of the most important books about animals - or drugs - that you are likely to read., Giorgio Samorini's text is a beautiful little object. Not only is the information that it contains fascinating, but also pitched at a level that is very engaging and thought-provoking. The question of intentionality and the natural inclination toward intoxication is neatly crafted together and explored, and gives the impression that this field of study is well worth further investigation by researchers., Samorini offers support for not only the theory of a biological basis of the pursuit of altered states, but also the possibility that this activity may expand the behavioral repertoire, thus altering evolution. Provocative reading.

Informative, Interesting read
This is an excellent book outlining various ways mind-altering plants and substances are utilized by the animal kingdom. This book is very brief, but it does its job of revealing that the desire to alter consciousness is not merely a facet of human life. I recommend this book to anyone interested in this topic; you are in for some interesting knowledge.
