關於產品

Product Information

Human beings have always smoked, and they probably always will. Every culture in recorded history has smoked something, whether as a cure or for pleasure, whether as part of a ritual or as an aspect of popular culture. It is curious, then, that no history of smoking has been written based on the assumption that smoking - in all of its forms and products - is a cultural phenomenon common to all human societies. Smoke: A Global History of Smoking examines the culture of smoking in different traditions and locations around the world. From opium dens in Victorian England to tobacco in Edo period Japan, and from ganja and cocaine to Havana cigars, Smoke encompasses the subject as no book has before. Based in cultural history, it employs a large number of images as part of its evidence: around 300 illustrations document smoking and smokers of many substances including tobacco, scented cigarettes, marijuana, opium and cocaine. The various essays examine the changing role of smoking in high and popular culture, ranging from images used in advertising to the legal and moral critiques of smoking, and from opera to the internet. Smoke will appeal to all those who smoke, all those who used to smoke, and all those who have tried, and failed, to give it up.

Reviews
"This is no book for the pinched-nosed policy-makers casting about for more cheap smoke-screen legislation. And it''s hardly a gift for those hoping to stick to New Year''s resolutions. But for others who have consigned their ashtrays to Oxfam and forgotten how Santa used to light-up a Lucky Strike after his hard night''s work or who can savour the ironies of Christopher Columbus introducing Amero-Indians to church incense before loading up with weed, it''s a worthy substitute to pass with the port."--Roger Cooter, The Lancet, "Whether you''re a committed smoker or a zealous guardian of public health, this lush coffee-table book about the history of smoking is bound to fascinate."--Cameron Woodhead, The Age, "For Gilman and Zhou, smoking is an activity that helps define what it means to be human. Their book . . . confirms the idea that smoking and the theatrical go together."--Boston Globe, Smokehas many splendid and absorbing illustrations pictures on nearly every page that range from smoking film stars, early advertising posters and ornate carved pipes, to beautiful full-colour reproductions of Western and Oriental art, As with the best histories Smokepaints a vivid picture of times past into which smoking itself is just a lure., "There is an undeniable pleasure to be taken in Smoke 's copious visual material."-- Evening Standard, "Whether you're a committed smoker or a zealous guardian of public health, this lush coffee-table book about the history of smoking is bound to fascinate."--Cameron Woodhead, The Age, "Smoke is a skilful blend of broad scholarship and general appeal.

The magpie reader will find many little gems here."--Nigel Barley, The Times Higher Education Supplement, Smoke is a skilful blend of broad scholarship and general appeal.

It is a real pleasure to recommend a book of true anthropological range and seriousness, conjuring, like the perfect smoke ring, the history of a universal human practice at a time when the issues raised . . . are at the forefront of current world-wide debates on health policy and social safety.
