Reviews
This volume in the Opposing Viewpoints series explores the subject of addiction through the usual diversity of essays and opinions. The book presents two contrasting theories about the root of addiction (biological versus behavioral), contributory factors, treatment, government intervention, etc. An introduction and chapter prefaces provide background for readers, and discussion questions and a bibliography of supplemental articles follow each chapter. Black-and-white cartoons and boxed insets comprising statistical information add to the title's usefulness. Librarians, teachers, and students will find this an important resource and a worthy addition to an outstanding series. Mary Romano Marks
