Inhaltsangabe

A guide for parents, families, counsellors, schools and policy-makers alike which addresses the problems that parents and their teenage children are likely to encounter when the question of drug use arises. The authors explain in simple terms how the brain works and give space to ordinary people who have consented to tell their own stories about the hazards and tragedies of drug use. The latter part of the book provides itemized information about all the most common drugs from alcohol to heroin. In alphabetical order, this listing can be used as a ready-reference guide to the origins, ingredients, effects and dangers of drugs. It also explains in detail how nerve impulses are generated, transmitted and interferred with in the brain.
