'...a very important argument with implications beyond the social history of drugs, into the broader history of the founding of empire.' - Professor Nigel South, University of Essex
Illustrated
Yes
Synopsis
Engagingly written, with lay readers as much as specialists in mind, this book is fascinating reading for historians and social scientists as well as those involved in Asian studies or economic history., Drug epidemics are clearly not just a peculiar feature of modern life; the opium trade in the nineteenth century tells us a great deal about Asian herion traffic today. In an age when we are increasingly aware of large scale drug use, this book takes a long look at the history of our relationship with mind-altering substances. Engagingly written, with lay readers as much as specialists in mind, this book will be fascinating reading for historians, social scientists, as well as those involved in Asian studies, or economic history.

    (same review for all 7 books) The seller responded quickly & the 7 books shipped fast! They were packed in a mylar-type bag, but wrapped tight within it, with larger books on the outside: so there was no shifting intransit and all arrived safe. (Thanks for the extra care.) The books are exactly as described/depicted - except one is a different version... but it's in good shape and in this case I didn't mind the switch. This was a good value, and cause, and I recommend them to others. Thank you!
