Review # 1 was written on 2015-12-08 00:00:00 Linda Specker I had to read this whole thing for a university class so I'm counting it in my goodreads book challenge. It was rich in history, statistics, and current studies. It was one of the best textbooks I've ever read.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-07-15 00:00:00 Traci Casto Decent introductory text for an undergraduate Drugs & Behavior course. Some of the information seemed a bit dated - especially related to stigmatizing terminology (e.g., abuse terminology rather than use terminology). I would like to see an updated version with less stigmatizing language. Additionally, more in depth information regarding models of addiction development & treatment would be great to have; however, I recognize that may be outside the scope of an introductory Drugs & Behavior class (perhaps better suited for an Addiction Treatment course or even graduate-level coursework). I also appreciated this text's frequent inclusion of current events as relates to drugs & behavior/society.
