Drugs: Mind, Body, and Society (Paperback, 2)

Rosenthal's text presents the foundational biological and pharmacological information about drugs and puts this information in a broader context so students truly understand the impacts of drug use. It includes the social, cultural, and political influences on drug use with a research-based and biological approach to the topic. For instructors looking for an approach that bridges the biological, social, and psychological, this text is the solution. Now offered with the Oxford Insight Study Guide.

Written in a contemporary and accessible voice, Drugs: Mind, Body, and Society offers more than knowledge and study skills. It is a multidisciplinary text that provides students with a comprehensive discussion about drugs and drug effects that weaves together physiology, neuroscience, pharmacology, psychology, society, culture, media, history, law, and religion. With an emphasis on critical thinking skills, this book teaches students to evaluate research, assess sources of data, and discern fact from opinion, so that they can make intelligent decisions that improve the quality of their lives.
