Drugs, the Straight Facts series.
These books leave the politics and scare tactics out of their exhaustive surveys of particular drugs; the result is texts that are educational but dry. As usual with this series, the books offer top-tier charts, graphs, and diagrams, plus vivid color photos. Most titles feature a reading list, bibliography, websites, and glossary. Ind. Review covers these Drugs, the Straight Facts titles: Barbiturates, Codeine, Cancer Drugs, Peyote and Mescaline, and Opium.
