Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Pretty good book!
I use this book for my Drugs and Behavior class and it was good..it has a lot a information and its an easy read...i just wish all my textbooks were as good as this one!
Rating:  - Not bad
As textbooks go this wasn't bad. It is up to date and gives an excellent overview of substance use and abuse. I found it to be engaging. It presents the information in a very matter of fact/non-judgmental way. The title is a little misleading in that the text focuses on United States society, not society in general.
Rating: - Good Resource
This text combined with the DSST for Drugs and Alcohol were great resources to prepare for the DANTES test. If I wasn't familiar with the terminology from the DANTES review then it could be easily located in this text.
