Introductions describe the current status of these drugs in the U.S. Performance-Enhancing largely explores the difficulties of testing professional and amateur athletes and the vagaries of which organizations are responsible for testing. Marijuana emphasizes its dangers rather than presenting a balanced view. Color photos and occasional "Viewpoint" sections add interest to the dense prose and dull, textbook-like layouts. Reading list, websites. Ind.

The major controversial issues of the day (police powers, illegal immigration, climate change, and more) seem to grow ever more complex. The Issues in Society series separates facts from opinion and provides badly needed context for understanding these hot-button topics. Sidebars expressing opposing views, fully documented quotes, and organizations to contact lists provide additional critical thinking tools for student researchers. Book jacket.
