Tihkal: A Continuation: The Continuation
EUR 14,51
Ein großartiges Buch! - Das Kapitel Places of the Mind sollte Pflichtlektüre in jeder Schulklasse werden. Vielleicht würden dann viele Menschen etwas menschlicher mit denen umgehen, die einfach nur ein bißchen andres sind...Unheimlich beeindruckend auch das Kapitel mit der MDMA-Psychotherapie.
Interesting but somewhat aimless extension to PIHKAL - This book is the much anticipated follow up to PIHKAL, and although it does contain some interesting information, the narratives are often disjointed and whimsical. It is as though the authors said almost everything that needed to be said in PIHKAL and included this additional commentary to satisfy themselves rather than the reading audience.The chemistry section, however, is superlative, and is more than well worth the cost of the book in and of itself if you are interestd in the subject matter.
Fascinating extension of psychadelic chemistry of PIHKAL - This is the second book by the Shulgins which mix their autobiographies with the subjective effects of new and well-studied psychadelic drugs. It lies on the cusp between top-level synthetic chemistry and guru-level self development, and is amust for anyone interested in self development or recreational drug usage. Highly recommended, but it would make more sense if one reads PIHKAL first.
A mixture of new age musing and pyschedelic chemistry. - Like Shulgin s earlier work Pihikal, Tihkal is a book of two parts. The first part is a mildly interesting semi autobiographical account of the continuing love affair of Shulgin & his partner, with new age overtones. The second part is a useful compendium of tryptamine devivatives, their structural chemistry, synthesis and their effects on very willing human volunteers.This book is an absolute must for drug chemists, and I suspect it will enjoy a wide sale to both chemists employed by enforcement agencies and those with a more direct personal interest in the effects of the compounds described.The title? It s an acronym for Tryptamines I have Known and Loved.......
