Library Journal Review

Drug abuse has become a frequent theme in movies and on TV shows detailing peoples' struggles with addiction. In this third edition, Shannon (editor, Child Abuse Sourcebook) seeks to explain the abuse of illegal, over-the-counter, and prescription drugs and the etiology and treatment of addiction in an understandable way. Part 1 includes facts about drug abuse in the United States; Part 2 covers over 30 abused substances, such as ecstasy, human-growth hormones, methamphetamine, and PCP. The next few sections cover the causes and consequences of substance abuse, then detail the treatment and recovery process. The guide closes with glossaries of terms related to drug abuse and the directories of state substance-abuse agencies and organizations. As in Cardiovascular Disorders Sourcebook (see review, above), the content here is made up of excerpts from government agency publications and websites such as the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services and Administration and organizations such as the American Psychiatric Association. BOTTOM LINE Well organized and readily accessible to lay readers, this is recommended; those libraries with previous editions should purchase this update. A related book also published by Omnigraphics is Alcoholism Sourcebook (2010. 3d ed.), which also has the same editor. A more comprehensive yet expensive purchase would be Gale Cengage's Encyclopedia of Drugs, Alcohol, and Addictive Behavior (2009. 3d ed.).-Rebecca Raszewski, Univ. of Illinois at Chicago (c) Copyright 2010.
