-
- I'd like to make people aware of the recent publication of the 3rd edition of
- my book "Drugs and Behavior." The 525 page book has chapters on the
- following: neurotransmission, principles of drug action, classification,
- variability in response to drugs, development of new drugs (I discuss some
- terrible things that drug companies do in developing & marketing drugs, &
- show that misprescribing is a major drug abuse problem), dangers & benefits
- of drugs, effects of drugs taken during pregnancy, legalization (I'm in
- favor of legalizing everything), users & abusers, prevention & treatment of
- abuse, drugs used in psychiatric practice, & drug effects on memory,
- creativity, sex, aggression, & sleep.
-
- Reviewers liked the previous edition. A reviewer for J. Amer. Med. Assoc.
- wrote "It is the sort of book that should be on everyone's reading list of
- basic texts and standard reference works." A reviewer for Brit. J.
- Psychiatry wrote "...it must be difficult to read this book without finding
- a new field worthy of personal pursuit." He called it a classic.
-
- The book is available in paper ($30) & hardback ($65) from Sage Publications,
- 2455 Teller Road, Thousand Oaks, CA 91320
