. From the Publisher This topic is timely and Knowles treatment of it is expert. This book tells the truth while providing reasonable and accurate information about these drugs, and the culture that surrounds them
The most comprehensive book on this topic. A Customer I heard Ms. Knowles speak in Chicago recently and bought her book there. I love the format of this book and especially like the sections on prevention (stuff we can actually do) and harm reduction. Since I read the book after hearing her speak I had a healthy skepticism for "data" and "facts" that have been presented in other places, in particular the popular media. Her book does a nice job of pointing out discrepancies in reporting in this area and helping the reader to question and figure out what is true. The book is understated (no scare messages or sens. A Customer said What a freakin' cool book!. I like this book a lot. It was easy to find what I needed and it was such a relief to read something that wasn't all anti-drug propoganda. It was just the right mix of science-clinical and just plain interesting. This lady did her research so I don't have to. This isn't a pro-drug book, but it is objective. Some cool stories too.
