Academic publisher SAGE has announced the launch of SAGE Reference's new Encyclopedia of Drug Policy. The encyclopaedia sorts through the complexity of the drug issue by exploring the controversial drug war through the lens of varied disciplines.
Four hundred and fifty highly accessible, expertly written A-to-Z entries in two volumes cover topics from Colombian cartels and Mexican kingpins to television reporting and 'Just say no' advertising and from heroin production to narco-terrorism. The broad range of content is helpfully organised in the Reader's Guide into key themes. In addition to American drug policies and issues, this unprecedented reference examines cross-national perspectives and other nations' drug policies. International agreements and treaties are also discussed.
SAGE's Encyclopedia of Drug Policy is co-edited by Mark A. R. Kleiman, Professor of Public Policy in the University of California, Los Angeles School of Public Affairs, and James E. Hawdon, Professor of Sociology at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. It claims to be an important resource for the reference shelves of all public and academic libraries. A free, 30-day online trial to this title is available at www.sagepub.com/freetrial.
