RR 2014/168 Alcohol and Drugs in North America: A Historical Encyclopedia

摘要

Is chocolate addictive? How did we come to rely on it? The emphasis of this encyclopedia, a revised and expanded edition of Alcohol and Temperance in Modern History: An Encyclopedia published in 2003, is the history of the substances that bring both pleasure and tragedy. The scope of this encyclopedia is much broader than other encyclopedias of substance abuse, including things such as energy drinks and intriguingly, the people associated with drugs such as Aldous Huxley. Contributors include academics and practitioners, as well as members of advocacy groups such as Mothers against Drunk Drivers. Entries are arranged alphabetically.
