Description
Summary:Reviews the book, Research Advances in Alcohol and Drug Problems edited by Yedy Israel, Frederick B. Glaser, Harold Kalant, Robert E. Popham, Wolfgang Schmidt, and Reginald G. Smart (1981). This book is the sixth volume of the series, Research Advances in Alcohol and Drug Problems The purpose of this series, as stated by the editors, is not to provide an annual review each year on a fixed selection of topics but rather "to present each year evaluative papers on topics in which enough recent progress has been made to alter the general scope in a particular area." In Volume 6 several chapters deal with highly specialized topics such as: Tolerance to sensitization to central stimulants, brain peptides, liver functions, and mutagenicity of alcohol and tobacco smoke. The prohibitive price $59.50 (U.S. dollars) and highly specialized and diverse nature of many of the chapters in this book, will likely prevent this book from finding its way into many personal libraries. This work would, however, be a worthwhile acquisition for any university or alcohol treatment library.
