This is a new release of the original 1943 edition.
In this extraordinary book the author has penned for the reader whose interests lead him into the curious by-paths of life a most energetic picture of Hasheesh, "the wining rival of opium as a producer of visions of paradise." Indeed, upon its first appearance in a limited ad privately printed edition, An Essay on Hasheesh evoked some notes of warning. "If there is any caution to go with this monograph, it should be to keep it out of the hands of the neurotics," said one reviewer. "We hope," wrote another, "that Victor Robinson's delightful description will not unduly popularize the use of this drug." The unstinted praise of critics throughout the English-speaking world established the fame of the Essay and created a persistent demand which is now being met by a new and unlimited edition. Dr. Robinson's foreword will assure you that this edition is a word-for-word reproduction of the earlier private issue.

Comrade Kropotkin is a classic Russian political biography by Victor Robinson. Bernard Shaw calls us a nation of villagers. To a large extent this appellation holds good. We are so self-sufficient unto ourselves that the most important events in the world leave us cold if they take place outside of the realm of the star-spangled banner. Pyotr Alexeevich Kropotkin (December 9, 1842 - February 8, 1921) was a Russian activist, revolutionary, scientist and philosopher who advocated anarchism. Pyotr Alexeevich Kropotkin was born in Moscow, into the second-highest level of the Russian aristocracy. His mother was the daughter of a Cossack general.[12] His father, Alexei Petrovich Kropotkin, was a prince in Smolensk, [13] of the Rurik dynasty which had ruled Russia before the rise of the Romanovs. Kropotkin's father owned large tracts of land and nearly 1,200 male serfs in three provinces. "[U]nder the influence of republican teachings," Kropotkin dropped his princely title at age 12, and "even rebuked his friends, when they so referred to him." In 1857, at age 14, Kropotkin enrolled in the Corps of Pages at St. Petersburg.[15] Only 150 boys - mostly children of nobility belonging to the court - were educated in this privileged corps, which combined the character of a military school endowed with special rights and of a court institution attached to the Imperial Household. Kropotkin's memoirs detail the hazing and other abuse of pages for which the Corps had become notorious. In Moscow, Kropotkin developed what would become a lifelong interest in the condition of the peasantry. Although his work as a page for Tsar Alexander II made Kropotkin skeptical about the tsar's "liberal" reputation, [17] Kropotkin was greatly pleased by the tsar's decision to emancipate the serfs in 1861.[18] In St. Petersburg, he read widely on his own account, and gave special attention to the works of the French encyclopædists and to French history. The years 1857-1861 witnessed a growth in the intellectual forces of Russia, and Kropotkin came under the influence of the new liberal-revolutionary literature, which largely expressed his own aspirations. Born into an aristocratic land-owning family, he attended a military school and later served as an officer in Siberia, where he participated in several geological expeditions. He was imprisoned for his activism in 1874 and managed to escape two years later. He spent the next 41 years in exile in Switzerland, France (where he was imprisoned for almost four years) and in England. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917, but was disappointed by the Bolshevik form of state socialism. Kropotkin was a proponent of a decentralised communist society free from central government and based on voluntary associations of self-governing communities and worker-run enterprises. He wrote many books, pamphlets and articles, the most prominent being The Conquest of Bread and Fields, Factories and Workshops; and his principal scientific offering, Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution. He also contributed the article on anarchism to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition[11] and left unfinished a work on anarchist ethical philosophy.

Based on his life as a personal security consultant, dietitian, and personal trainer to some of rock's most infamous personalities, Victor Robinson's memoir "Never Say Never...You Could Be Next" takes readers on a journey from the heart of America across the globe filled with loud music, long nights, and unexpected friendships that culminates in a man learning what it means to be a man, and ultimately finding himself again. Focused on the years spent on the road with bands like Twisted Sister and The Rolling Stones, "Never Say Never...You Could Be Next" offers an insider's look at the world of rock & roll during the roller coaster that was the 1970's and 1980's music scene. From Australia to California to New York and back again, harrowing tales from the cutting edge of international music culture blend seamlessly with one man's journey into self-discovery and deliverance. Born in Chicago, Victor's teen years spent in the small Michigan town of Mendon gave no indication that a few short years after leaving the Marine corps he would be wholly enmeshed in the sexy, live-on-the-razor's-edge world of A-list life on the road, be it in a private jet on its way to a gig in Germany or a stretch limo filled with Hollywood elite. Whether partying with Jack Nicholson and John Belushi at The Roxy or helping Dee Snider tone up his biceps in between gigs, Victor's life is a testament to the idea that you should always be as prepared as possible, because you never know what the universe will have in store for you next. Told in the gripping narrative only a memoir can provide, readers from all walks of life will find the exciting, yet relatable journey of a man who survived not only the Marine Corps and Keith Richards, but also a life threatening illness that brought him into a new life as a kidney transplant recipient. Laughter and tears, sorrow and joy, anger and redemption: a myriad of emotions play across the page as Victor's saga unfolds. Sometimes raw, but always heartfelt and honest, "Never Say Never...You Could Be Next" is a non-fiction page turner not to be missed.
