This new edition of The Ergot Alkaloids, the 1964 classic, describes the botany, history, chemistry, and pharmacology of ergot, up to and including the synthesis of LSD. It is the real foundational work of the LSD discovery, republished here in an unaltered reprint as a historical document. Albert Hofmann wrote an updated preface to this edition and wrote the history of LSD as a new chapter, which follows the discovery of LSD in 1943 and describes the fascinating as well as controversial development up to the present time. The path from ergot to LSD shows that LSD, like most discoveries, is primarily not just a product of chance, but also the fruit of long, extensive research activity. Expanded reprint of the original edition.
