P. D. Newman has produced a book with a rare and elusive combination of qualities: engaging, intellectually stimulating, and benefitting from sound scholarship and personal experience. His attempt to reconstruct the interface between psychedelics and shamanic afterlife journeys among the Indigenous people of the Mississippi Valley is both inventive and original. Much thought and research went into this book, drawing on archaeology, anthropology, botany, and comparative religion, and it's all integrated in a compelling and entertaining way.
