Drugs, the Straight Facts series.
These information troves won't leave teenagers ignorant, but they will probably leave them bored. Alzheimer's and Morphine occasionally try to tease out the human-interest angle by supplying a few anecdotes, but Birth Control makes no attempt to appeal to a young-adult audience. Excellent charts, graphs, and diagrams as well as crisp color photos appear intermittently. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Drugs, the Straight Facts titles: Alzheimer's Disease and Memory Drugs, Morphine, and Birth Control Pills.
