Drug Use and Misuse: A Reader

John Wiley & Sons. 1987. (ISBN: 9780471916840). Paperback, 0.5 x 8.5 x 9.8 inches. The Open University's ``Education for Health'' course is devoted to the principles and practice of preventitive medicine. This Reader, the second in the series written in association with the Health Education Authority, surveys several different approaches to the prevention of drug abuse. Contributors discuss use, misuse, and preventitive strategies for barbituates, tranquilizers, alcohol, smoking, and other substances. Most people use drugs, whether alcohol, tobacco, tranquillisers or painkillers. Sadly, widespread drug use is associated with a huge toll of adverse consequences, including drug dependence, harmful physical side-effects, public order offences and many social problems. This selective and highly informative guide to the drug field has been produced with a view to training members of the health care professions in the subject of drug abuse. It combines research findings with practical issues, and in doing so presents a comprehensive overview of the background to the subject.

Isbn 0-19-855561-X, 019855561X. This absorbing account of the evolution of modern medicine from its roots in folk culture will entertain and inform both scientists and general readers alike. It explains the chemical basis of modern pharmacology, and provides a fascinating description of the use and abuse of natural products in various societies through the ages and how this largely trial-and-error process has led to the development of many of the drugs we now take for granted. Primitive cultures especially identified a wealth of edible and poisonous plants, and refined their use in practices related to hunting, healing, magic, religion, and warfare. Today, this heritage can be linked to the origin of such modern-day substances as hemlock and other notorious poisons, as well as to a range of psychoactive drugs like cocaine and LSD, and to beneficial pharmaceuticals including quinine, penicillin, and AZT. However many plant and animal species still remain undiscovered, and as the author notes, much native folk medicine has yet to be investigated. With the rapid destruction of many of the earth's natural resources, this book is particularly timely as these potentially valuable sources could be lost forever. University of Reading, U.K. Text on the development of folk medicine into the modern day medical pharmacopeia. Title refers to toxins, stimulants/hallucinogens, and medicines. For persons interested in the history of medicine or pharmacology. Used: Acceptable.
