‘An original and thrilling investigation into psychedelics and the claims that currently surround them, achieving profound insights’ Mike Jay, author of Psychonauts Psychedelics have made a comeback, but the truth is they remain a mystery. In this daring, profound and wildly entertaining investigation, clinical neuropsychologist Andy Mitchell tests the claims being made for these substances by taking ten different psychedelics in ten different settings. Journeying from a neuroimaging lab in London to the Colombian Amazon via Silicon Valley and his friend’s basement kitchen, his encounters with scientists and gangsters, venture capitalists and con men, psychonauts and shamans, and above all with the drugs themselves, take us beyond the hype and reveal the reality of psychedelics in all their strangeness, darkness and wonder.‘Canny and somewhat sceptical . . . rigorous and penetrating . . . This is a wonderful book, a journey into the nature and potential of consciousness itself’ Literary Review'An incisive, deeply personal and beautifully written account of the power, the uses and the modern misuses of psychedelics. Highly recommended' Anil Seth, author of Being You‘Utterly compelling. Some books are in a category of their own and this is one them.

The more we learn about psychedelics, the less we seem to understand them. . . . In this engrossing, sometimes hilarious, always dramatic chronicle, a neuropsychologist deflates the hype, explores the limitless possibilities, and reveals a much-needed perspective about psychedelics, giving us a scientist's first-person experiment with ten different compounds in ten different settings. Once demonized and still largely illegal, psychedelic drugs are now officially a "breakthrough therapy" in treating mental illness, used to heal trauma, conquer addiction, and enhance well-being. But as Andy Mitchell reveals, this approach to psychedelics is overhyped, and most importantly, neglects what is so unusual and valuable about them: the psychedelic experience itself. In Ten Trips, Mitchell takes ten different drugs in ten diverse locations--including a neuroimaging lab in London, the Columbian Andes, Silicon Valley and his friend's basement kitchen--to document their remarkable effects. Along the way he encounters a cast of distinctive characters: scientists and gangsters, venture capitalists and philosophers, psychonauts and shamans, musicians, monks, therapists, poets, and conmen. His experience opens a doorway to psychedelics' full potential: for healing and trauma, for ecstatic one-ness and utter terror, for transcendence and corruption, for profundity and laughter. Mitchell argues that by removing psychedelics from their cultures and rituals, both indigenous and underground, we risk rejecting the expertise and the contexts which hold the key to understanding them--and from which their real benefits may derive. In the drive to standardize, control, and monetize the psychedelic experience, we may ultimately destroy what makes them potent: their ability to transform our whole perspective on mental health and reenchant us with the world. A hallucinogenic experience nearly as mind-blowing as actually taking psychedelics themselves, Ten Trips is Michael Pollan's How to Change Your Mind written by Hunter S. Thompson with a PhD in neuroscience--a perception-altering odyssey that will change the way we see these substances and the world.

This is the story of the world's very first club dedicated to football, founded in Scotland in 1824. Football was played from medieval times in schools and villages throughout Britain and took on many forms before the Victorians embarked on the process of codification. There were attempts in the 1840s to write down rules at Rugby School, Eton College and Cambridge University. When footballers got together they formed organisations and a club was founded at Trinity College, Dublin, in 1854, while Scotland's oldest is now the Academical Football Club in Edinburgh, established in 1857. Sheffield, also dating from 1857, makes a strong claim to be the oldest existing club now playing association football. Yet to find the world's first football club one has to go back to 1824, when an Edinburgh student called John Hope established what he simply called The Foot-Ball Club. No other contemporary football clubs are known to have existed, but this one thrived for almost 17 years, giving an outlet for organised football to a generation of young sportsmen. The club's extraordinarily detailed records have survived intact, including membership lists, accounts, letters and personal reminiscences. Many of these priceless items are reproduced in the book. Thanks to this unique archive, we know the names of almost 300 men who played for the club. The founding members might have been expected to leave football behind when they left school but by persisting with their juvenile activities and continuing to play this vigorous contact sport into adulthood, they were ahead of their time. The authors show in this book that the Foot-Ball Club fitted perfectly into the vibrant sporting culture which existed among a particular social class in Edinburgh. The city already had a wide range of clubs and societies devoted to physical exercise: Edinburgh sportsmen had already formed the world's first archery club, first golf club and first gymnastic club; they had written the first rules for golf, bowls and curling, and presented the first trophies for golf and bowls. The Foot-Ball Club continued in the same pioneering spirit, and the club's members went on to have an indelible influence on the ongoing development of football, in all its forms, far beyond their time and place. They had an impact on the game's future progress by passing on their enthusiasm and experiences to their sons, younger brothers and relatives. This is the story of how Edinburgh can lay claim to a number of football 'world firsts': the first club (1824), first written rules (1833), first medal (1851), first inter-school match (1858) and first organised games for girls (1861). There were Edinburgh-educated men at the founding meeting of the Football Association in 1863, and the city hosted the first rugby international match in 1871, in which the Scotland team was captained by the son of a Foot-Ball Club member. In writing the definitive history of the Foot-Ball Club, John Hutchinson and Andy Mitchell reveal who the club members were, how they played and what motivated them. They have uncovered a fascinating picture of sport and society in the city of Edinburgh, the people who lived in it and their social networks. They also tell the life story of the club's energetic founder, John Hope, who remained a passionate advocate of football throughout his long life, and was also a controversial character in other fields - philanthropy, education, religion, politics and temperance - which will resonate with historians of the period.

This is the story of how international football began, culminating in the Scotland v England match of 30 November 1872. That match had its origins in 1870, when two teams of English and Scots footballers kicked a ball about for 90 minutes in the outfield of a London cricket ground. They were cheered on by 'an assemblage of spectators such as is rarely seen', which was about 500 spectators. Over the next two years, international football took the first faltering steps on a journey of passion and emotion that now captivates hundreds of millions of football fans around the world. In this ground-breaking work, football historian Andy Mitchell explains why the pioneers came up with the idea, what challenges they faced, how the rugby and association codes fought for supremacy, and who the key players were. Following exhaustive research, he outlines in detail the events that led to the first internationals, and tells the surprising stories of the men who took part in the early internationals: from convicted killer to Prime Minister's son, the tragic deaths and the outstanding careers. This book shines new light on the birth of international football rivalry, and is a valuable addition to literature on the world's greatest sport. Chapters 1-5 describe the events of the five unofficial internationals between 1870-72, the first rugby international in March 1871, and the first official Scotland v England association football international on 30 November 1872. Chapters 6-8 tell the amazing stories of the football pioneers, their triumphs and disasters, with many photos never before published. The book concludes with an indispensible biographical dictionary of the 75 association football players and 40 rugby players who took part in the matches, including birth and death details, sporting and career highlights, and family background. There is also a timeline, bibliography and index.
