PLEASURES OF THE FLESH. Sex & Drugs in Colonial New Zealand. 1840-1915. Offers a delightfully fresh analysis of the combination of Christian and non-religious strands in New Zealand social life. It reveals the astonishing doctoring of drugs, from morphine to tea, by capitalist and quack alike, and it gives us throughout a provocative insight into the sexual and drug taking practices that many might prefer to ignore. Published in 1984.

Hardback with dust jacket. 303 pages. Condition: as new. SECONDHAND.
