Food of the Gods by Terence K. McKenna [Bantam Books, 1993]
This is a very interesting book. He makes an argument that religion, art, and even language are rooted in shamanism and hallucinogenic mushrooms. He goes on to say that society/civilizations' biggest problems are caused by our lack of connection to the earth. That we need plants (mushrooms) to make the connection. I'm not sure how he concludes the book as I'm currently about half way through.
