Free Download Opium Inc.: How a Global Drug Trade Funded the British Empire
English | 2021 | ISBN: B09F71K3B1 | Format: MP3 / 9h 27m + EPUB | 260 Mb
This is the story of the world’s biggest drug deal.
In the 19th century, the British East India Company operated a triangle of trade that straddled the globe, running from India to China to Britain. From India to China, they took opium. From China to Britain, they took tea. From Britain to India, they brought empire. It was a machine that consumed cheap Indian land and labor and spat out money.
The British had two problems, though. They were importing enormous amounts of tea from China, but the Celestial Empire looked down on British goods and only wanted silver in return. Simultaneously, the expanding colony in India was proving far too expensive to maintain. The British solved both problems with opium, which became the source of income on which they built their empire.

Free Download Women’s Drug Use in Everyday Life
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031460561 | 352 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 4.4 MB
This open access book explores the increasing role of psychoactive substances in contemporary everyday life, focussing on women’s use. Drawing on an ethnographic study in Sweden, it uses cultural studies and queer phenomenology to analyse the women’s narratives of drug use relating to themes that encompass social, legal, cultural, embodied and gendered perspectives on drugs in the contemporary Western world. It examines topics such as stigma, happiness, children, the body, gifts, the drug market, medication, sickness and health and also the orientation of themselves towards others, to social and cultural norms, to drug laws and to the substances. It discusses how drug related spaces and directions be analysed in terms of gender and class, and how, in turn, the directions of contemporary society and culture can be affected by drug use. It speaks to academics in Sociology, Criminology, Ethnology, Gender studies, Law and History.

Free Download Natural Product-based Synthetic Drug Molecules in Alzheimer’s Disease: Therapeutic & Theranostic Agents
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819960371 | 794 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 37 MB
This book illustrates the importance of natural products as the source for the development of novel drugs for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease. It also highlights the role of reactive oxygen species and altered metal homeostasis in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and examines the potential of antioxidants and anti-chelating agents in the clinical intervention of neurodegenerative diseases. The book also discusses the role of neuroinflammation in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. The chapters provide information about the drug targets, progress in the development of natural product-based therapeutics, biomarkers, fluorescent diagnostic tools, and theranostic for Alzheimer’s disease. The book also provides information about the design and synthesis of natural product-based derivatives against the various targets of Alzheimer’s disease including epigenetic targets and the metal dyshomeostasis hypothesis. Cutting across different disciplines, this book is a valuable source for neuroscientists, chemical biologists, pharmaceutical researchers, and synthetic biologists.
