E-research and educational publisher Gale, part of Cengage Learning, US, has announced the release of Encyclopedia of Drugs, Alcohol and Addictive Behavior, third edition. A follow-up to the 2001 second edition, this new version updates and expands upon the social, medical, legal and political issues related to drugs and alcohol and associated behaviours.
In the Macmillan Reference USA tradition, a board of noted scholars in the fields of drugs, alcohol and addiction bring new scholarship within the discipline to the set alongside discussion of topics often mentioned in today's media. Coverage of these concepts beyond the US - through the European Union, Asia, and beyond - is significantly expanded in this edition. Statistics throughout the set have been revisited and thoroughly updated and the A-Z entry arrangement has been maintained.
Gale serves the world's information and education needs through its vast and dynamic content pools, which are used by students and consumers in their libraries, schools and on the Internet. It is best known for the accuracy, breadth and convenience of its data, addressing all types of information needs.
