Drugs

Written in a contemporary and accessible voice, Drugs: Mind, Body, and Society offers more than knowledge and study skills. It is a multidisciplinary text that provides students with a comprehensive discussion about drugs and drug effects that weaves together physiology, neuroscience, pharmacology, psychology, society, culture, media, history, law, and religion. With an emphasis on critical thinking skills, this book teaches students to evaluate research, assess sources of data, and discern fact from opinion, so that they can make intelligent decisions that improve the quality of their lives. The accompanying Oxford Insight courseware works with the text to optimize learning. This powerful tool engages students in an active and highly dynamic review of chapter content, empowering them to critically assess their own understanding of core concepts presented in Drugs: Mind, Body, and Society. Real-time, actionable data generated by activity in the guide helps instructors ensure that each student is best supported along their unique learning path.
