Written for the teen reader, with many references to teen usage, Drugs and Controlled Substances is a comprehensive reference work for students and would be useful for adult readers as well.  It 'covers illegal drugs, legal addictive drugs and other substances, and commonly abused classes of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.'... Currency, scope, and authority are the hallmarks of this highly recommended reference work that should be found in most school and public libraries.  For the high school level, it offers much more depth than The Encyclopedia of Drugs and Alcohol (Watts, 2002), which has been a standard resource in middle and high schools.  -- Booklist (March 2003)

...Patrons who need basic information about drugs will be satisfied with this source.  It is an excellent addition to school, public, and consumer health library collections.   -- ARBA (2003)

A comprehensive resource...                                             This well-organized volume is intended as a  medical reference  book for students.  The sober presentation includes a minimum of black-and-white illustrations and is, at times, technical in tone.  The book will be of great value to students working on reports as well as general readers seeking straightforward information on drug abuse.   -- School Library Journal (June 2003)
