Acid Test: LSD, Ecstasy, and the Power to Heal by Tom Shroder $27.95 – With an uncanny ability to reveal the mind’s remote frontiers and the unmapped areas of human consciousness, LSD and MDMA (better known as Ecstasy) have proven extraordinarily effective in treating anxiety disorders such as PTSD—yet the drugs remain illegal for millions of people who might benefit from them. Anchoring Tom Shroder’s Acid Test are the stories of Rick Doblin, the founder and executive director of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), who has been fighting government prohibition of psychedelics for more than thirty years; Michael Mithoefer, a former emergency room physician, now a psychiatrist at the forefront of psychedelic therapy research; and his patient Nicholas Blackston, a former Marine who has suffered unfathomable mental anguish from the effects of brutal combat experiences in Iraq. All three men are passionate, relatable people; each flawed, each resilient, and each eccentric, yet very familiar and very human.

Dr. Mutter’s Marvels: A True Tale of Intrigue and Innovation at the Dawn of Modern Medicine by Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz $27.50 – This book interweaves an eye-opening portrait of nineteenth-century medicine with the riveting biography of a man once described as the “P. T. Barnum of the surgery room.” Brilliant, outspoken, and brazenly handsome, Mütter was flamboyant in every aspect of his life. He wore pink silk suits to perform surgery, added an umlaut to his last name just because he could, and amassed an immense collection of medical oddities that would later form the basis of Philadelphia’s Mütter Museum. Award-winning writer Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz vividly chronicles how Mütter’s efforts helped establish Philadelphia as a global mecca for medical innovation—despite intense resistance from his numerous rivals.

As a part of the Chicago Transit Authority’s $494 million Your New Blue project, the California and Damen Blue Line stations will be temporary closed this autumn to complete major renovation work. From September 4 to October 16, the California station will be closed and the Damen station will be closed from October 20 until December 22. That’s the blue line stop closest to Quimby’s. The Western stop, which received a complete overhaul fifteen years ago, will remain open during the station improvements. Both the California and Damen stations were originally opened in 1895 and will receive both exterior and interior facelifts that will include new LED lighting, repairs to the floors and stairs, new bike racks and new artwork. In addition to the station improvements, the CTA believes that the upgrades will help alleviate congestion and improve overall service. During the California and Damen closures, the CTA will not offer free shuttle service like it did during the more recent weekend closures the Sun-Times is reporting. However, the CTA will run more buses along the #56 Milwaukee Ave. line during rush hour periods.
