The twentieth century saw a remarkable upsurge of research on drugs, with major
advances in the treatment of bacterial and viral infections, heart disease,
stomach ulcers, cancer, and metal illnesses. These, along with the introduction
of the oral contraceptive, have altered all of our lives.
There has also been an increase in the recreational use and abuse of drugs in
the Western world.
This Very Short Introduction , in its second edition, gives a non-technical
account of how drugs work in the body. Reviewing both legal (alcohol, nicotine,
and caffeine) and illegal drugs, Les Iversen discusses why some are addictive,
and whether drug laws need reform.
