"Substance Use and Abuse: Cultural and Historical Perspectives provides an inclusive explanation of the human desire to take drugs.

Intergrating biological, psychosocial, and cultural-historical perspectives, this innovative and accessible volume addresses the fundamental question of why drug use is such a ubiquitous feature of human society."--Jacket |
