I was asked by the author to forward this to news.
Net.cops firewall: I have no monetary profit whatsoever with the publication
of this book. I like the book, and recommend it to anyone wishing to know
more about the subject of drugs.

I'd like to make people aware of the recent publication of the 3rd edition of
my book "Drugs and Behavior." The 525 page book has chapters on the
following: neurotransmission, principles of drug action, classification,
variability in response to drugs, development of new drugs (I discuss some
terrible things that drug companies do in developing & marketing drugs, &
show that misprescribing is a major drug abuse problem), dangers & benefits
of drugs, effects of drugs taken during pregnancy, legalization (I'm in
favor of legalizing everything), users & abusers, prevention & treatment of
abuse, drugs used in psychiatric practice, & drug effects on memory,
creativity, sex, aggression, & sleep.
Reviewers liked the previous edition. A reviewer for J. Amer. Med. Assoc.
wrote "It is the sort of book that should be on everyone's reading list of
basic texts and standard reference works." A reviewer for Brit. J.
Psychiatry wrote "...it must be difficult to read this book without finding
a new field worthy of personal pursuit." He called it a classic.
The book is available in paper ($30) & hardback ($65) from Sage Publications,
2455 Teller Road, Thousand Oaks, CA 91320
