LIVING WITH DRUGS (SIXTH EDITION)

Book ID/图书代码： 05230010B36717

English Summary/英文概要： A study of drugs - the different kinds of drugs, the reasons why people take drugs, the ways in which people have used drugs, and some of the difficulties to which drug-taking can lead. The various hazards of use discussed include the physical and psychological health of users, the social penalties incurred by use of abuse, and the risk of dependence. In addition, the effects of drugs may be directly linked to the drug effect or indirectly related to behavioural patterns of use or to social consequences of use.

The book is also about the ordinariness of drug taking. Where drugs are presented as though they were something alien and unusually dangerous, it tries to put drug-taking in a more balanced perspective, showing that even those who drink tea or coffee are drug takers. There are updated definitions of the main terms used within the fields of drugs and alcohol.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 替毒品藥物，做更詳細客觀的解釋

本書將會介紹眾多毒品藥物，人們吸食毒品的原因和攝入方法，以及在人體生理及心理兩方面，所造成的巨大傷害，亦提出社會對於毒品濫用的懲戒等話題。
本書也針對這類藥物的正規使用做討論。有別於傳統觀念中的洪水猛獸，作者以客觀公正的角度向我們闡釋了麻醉藥物的用途，他還指出，從某種意義上來說，人們在日常生活當中對於茶及咖啡的飲用，也近似於一種藥物依賴。
作為本書的最新版本，書中對於毒品酒精方面在近些年間所新增出來的諸多名詞進行了全新的解釋和定義；同時還囊括新訂定的法規及條例等重要訊息。(AW & SK)

’The book is written in an easily accessible style… suitable for a general readership. I highly recommend it’ ---Health Sociology Review

’The fact that Living with Drugs is into its sixth edition indicates its value. The book provides an accessible and thorough examination from multiple perspectives of both complexities of drugs and drug use…aimed at both generalist and and specialist reader.’---Drug and Alcohol Review

’It is well constructed, easy to grasp for readers from a range of disciplines, but moreover covers a lot of ground from beginning to end, each chapter capable of standing alone as an essay yet in this case, seamlessly fused. The author is not overtly conjectural or condescending, sticking to accessible points of fact and little superfluous material. All in all, a highly creditable read.’---Critical Public Health
