Mushrooms

Written by Andy Letcher this 300 page volume looks at hallucinogenic mushrooms from all angles and it covers them all pretty thoroughly, published first in 2007 it must be among the most recent of the authoritative books to come out on this subject which seems to be growing in popularity.

The book was first published in 1970 but the author had written a couple of books on the Dead Sea Scrolls previously since he was on the team of scholars which first studied them until he had a falling out. Rather than a book about drugs this one is more a look at the origins of Christianity and drew quite a deal of criticism from Catholicism predictably enough.
