Yup, it sure is! Good catch :)
And believe it or not, I would actually recommend The Complete Idiot's Guide to Alchemy to start. Don't be fooled by the title, it's a great intro, especially for such a complicated subject. Hauck just breaks things down in plain English (definitely NOT something you see every day when it comes to alchemy). Read this before attempting Jung! It'll make your life a whole lot easier :)
Acid Dreams -- www.amazon.com/Acid-Dreams-Complete-History-Sixties/dp/0802130623/
This is a great book on the history of LSD and the personalities (and government agencies like the CIA) that led to the acid explosion of the 60s. Well sourced and well written.

States of Consciousness by Charles Tart, Ph. D.
>States of Consciousness, a classic by world authority Charles T. Tart, is a basic understanding of how the mind is a dynamic, culturally biased, semi-arbitrary construction and system. A systematic exploration of how and why altered states can come about and their possibilities. As a student of his remarked, For the first weeks of class I didnt understand what those diagrams were about, but Ive realized the book is all about the way my own mind works! Useful in understanding some of the important ways your mind works before you start altering it.
Author biography
>Charles T. Tart, Ph.D., is internationally known for his psychological work on the nature of consciousness, particularly altered states of consciousness - as one of the founders of the field of transpersonal psychology - and for his research in parapsychology. His two classic books, "Altered States of Consciousness" (1969) and "Transpersonal Psychologies" (1975), were widely used texts that were instrumental in allowing these areas to become part of modern psychology.
