Synopsis:

Drugs are as pervasive as ever, and parents and children alike need complete, unbiased information about how drugs affect the mind and the body. Weil and Rosen cover a wide range of available substances, from coffee to marijuana, from antihistamines to psychedelics, from steroids to the new "smart drugs."

About the Authors: Winifred Rosen was raised and educated in New York City, where for several years she taught high school English and literature. She then began writing books for children and young adults. Her titles include Henrietta, the Wild Woman of Borneo (a Newbery Award nominee); Cruisin for a Bruisin; and Three Romances: Love Stories from Camelot Retold. She now lives on Long Island, where she divides her time between writing and landscape gardening.

Author of the best-selling Spontaneous Healing and Eight Weeks to Optimum Health, he traveled the world experiencing and studying healers and healing systems and has earned an international reputation as an expert on alternative medicine, mind-body interactions, and medical botany. He is the associate director of the Division of Social Perspectives in Medicine and the director of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
