Product Description |
|
DRUG USE AND ABUSE takes an interdisciplinary approach in its coverage of current drug issues. It weaves psychological, historical, cultural, social, biological, and medical perspectives -- emphasizing the idea that a drug's effects depend not only on its properties, but also on the biological and psychological characteristics of its user. This theme is highlighted throughout, and is prominent in discussions of the individual classes of drugs, as well as in the chapters on pharmacology and psychopharmacology. |

Good book-High Price |
|
This is an excellent book for those who want to learn more about addiction science (pharmacology, neuroscience, etc.) The sections devoted to epidemiology, prevention and treatment only comprise 125 pages out of 424 (the latter not including the glossary, references-which are excellent-and index). Also, at about $90, the book is overpriced. There are simliar books available for $50-60. |

Drug use and abuse |
|
After several years of study I decided to read a text book on the current views,opinions, and changes about drug use and abuse. My choice for this book was originally based on the most current copyright date and edition. This book with its blunt title and layout in the table of contents assured me that this is what I was searching for. The information is spot on, and the background, history, and unknown trivia about the use and abuse of drugs made this book an enjoyable read. Packed with knowledge and concise description this book is a must read and useful addition to the book shelf at home, school, or office for anyone seeking knowledge on the subject of drugs and how they affect American society. I'm glad I found it. |
