Key Concepts in Drugs and Society by Ross Coomber, Karen McElrath, Fiona Measham, and Karenza Moore is an invaluable resource for understanding the complex relationships between people and drugs. This comprehensive introduction covers key issues and trends concerning drugs and society, both locally and globally, historically and today.
