What's New
New co-author Carl Hart--an active researcher currently conducting laboratory research on marijuana, methamphetamine, and MDMA--brings to the book his research experience as well as his experience in teaching the drugs course.
Chapters have been reorganized for better flow of the content. The book now follows a natural progression of opening with drug history, how drugs affect the body, individual drug information and closing with prevention and treatment.
Chapter Objectives now open each chapter, alerting your students to key concepts they'll need to learn throughout the chapter and providing a convenient outline for study or review.
Online Learning Center and Power Web topics are now integrated into chapter discussion. At key points throughout the text, specific topics and features of the Online Learning Center are highlighted, providing the student with greater opportunity for further reading, discussion and activities.
To obtain an instructor login for this Online Learning Center, ask your local sales representative.
