Each book in this series provides a comprehensive view of the advent, use, and evolution of each substance in a straightforward and easy to follow format. For controversial topics, such as e-cigarettes, discussion from both sides is presented, though the bottom line is still to refrain from use. Information is provided on how addictive the substance is, as well as behaviors and symptoms associated with addiction. Treatments and challenges of getting treatment are discussed. Prevention rounds out the presentation, covering personal prevention, local efforts to prevent drug use, and global movements to help cut down on substance use. Each title is studded with appropriate full color graphs, charts, and photos, as well as primary sources. Organizations for further assistance are also listed. This information is solidly presented for collections that need an update, have recurring projects, and for curious students.
