(4) 4-6 Drug Dangers series. Six chapters present the social impact, reasons for use, and the effects of common drugs. Specific, personal examples are woven in among the facts, and Alcohol and Diet Pill each include a chapter-long interview. Concluding chapters focus on organizations combating abuse and on personal strategies for avoiding drugs. Color photos are plentiful but add little to the busily designed books. Bib., glos., ind.
