Reproduced from original publication between 1878 and 1995, mostly in academic and technical journals, 20 articles re-evaluate both the history of mind-altering substances in the Pacific World, and crucial historical transformation connected to them. The period they consider extends from the arrival of the Portuguese in Macao and the Spaniard along the Pacific coast of America, to the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, two years after the Shanghai Conference that established the first international agreement on the control of narcotics. They discuss indigenous drugs, tobacco, opium, cocaine, and alcohol, but the coverage reflects vast gaps in research on such topics as alcohol use in the orient and cycles of drug problems in the US.
