Synopsis
Describes the history, characteristics, legal status, and abuse of amphetamines and methamphetamines.Editorials
School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up-These useful volumes are attractively packaged and will be of interest to report writers and general readers. Texts and photos do an excellent job of showing how each group of drugs affects the body. All three volumes include charts, diagrams, shaded boxes, and photographs to aid in understanding. Some of the sidebars are personal stories, which are interesting but not documented so they may be fictionalized. Depressants includes general information and history, and concentrates on the variety of drugs on the market and addresses their medicinal uses and abuse. LSD and Amphetamines cover the history of the drugs, how they affect the body, legal issues, abuse, withdrawal, and treatment. Amphetamines has the most information on how to get help for addiction.-Debbie Stewart Hoskins, Grand Rapids Public Library, MI Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.Book Details
