Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I welcome all of you to the Ninth Edition of Drugs, Behavior, and Modern Society. As always, the overarching goal has been to provide a valuable learning experience and a greater understand-ing of the complex world of drug-taking behavior. Throughout the chapters of this book, the fo-cus will be on the relevance of drugs and drug-taking behavior on your daily lives as well as the contemporary society in which we live. There is no need for a background in biology, sociology, psychology, or chemistry to re-ceive benefit from the contents of this book. The only requirement is a sense of curiosity about the range of drugs that affect our minds and our bodies and a concern about the social and per-sonal challenges that drugs bring to our daily lives. These challenges can be framed in terms of three fundamental themes of understanding: Understanding the patterns of drug-taking behavior throughout history Present-day issues concerning drug misuse and abuse are issues that society has confronted for a long time. Drugs and drug-taking behavior are consequences of a particularly human need to feel stronger, more alert, calmer, more distant and dissociated from our surroundings, or simp-ly to feel good. It is the misuse and abuse of chemical substances to achieve these ends that have resulted in major problems in the United States and around the world. Understanding the diversity of psychoactive drugs in our society There is an enormous diversity among drugs that affect the mind and the body. There is a great need to educate ourselves not only about drugs such as cocaine, amphetamines, heroin, hal-lucinogens, and marijuana but also about drugs that are legally sanctioned and readily available to us, specifically alcohol and nicotine. Drugs, Behavior, and Modern Society is a comprehensive survey of all types of psychoactive drugs, addressing the issues of drug-taking behavior from psychological, biological, and sociological perspectives. Understanding the impact of society on drug-related issues in our lives -Like it or not, the decision to use drugs is one of life's choices within our contemporary society, regardless of your racial, ethnic, or religious background, how much money you have, where you live, how much education you have acquired, your age or gender identity. As has been demonstrated through our collective experiences during the days of the COVID pandemic, our behaviors will be continually influenced by changes in the social environment around us. As far as the contents of this new edition are concerned, let's say that there are somethings that are old and somethings that are new. On the one hand, the Ninth Edition of Drugs, Behavior, and Modern Society continues to maintain standards of clarity, readability, comprehensiveness, and organization that have been set by previous editions, as well as a commitment to the importance of historical story-telling as a meaningful context to the technical material in the chapters. On the other hand, the story of drug-taking behavior through the years is like a breathless ride on a high-speed train with twists and turns and unknown territory just around the bend. It is ob-vious that certain patterns of drug-taking behavior and associated social issues have changed dramatically since the previous edition of this book. In fact, there are a number of subjects ad-dressed in the new edition that hardly existed at the time the Eighth Edition was released. Some examples include: the widespread prevalence of nicotine vaping and the use of e-cigarettes in general (Chapter 10), advancements in medical applications of cannabis (Chapter 7), and the im-pactful nature of the opioid abuse epidemic made worse by the availability of synthetic opioids such as fentanyl (Chapter 4). In addition, there have been groundbreaking developments in un-derstanding the neurochemical basis for behavioral addiction (Chapter 3). [Insert Screen break] Content Highlights As you will see, chapters about particular drugs have been grouped not in terms of their pharma-cological or chemical characteristics but, rather, in terms of how readily accessible they are to the general public and today's societal attitudes toward their use. The last section of the book con-cerns itself with prevention and treatment. In addition, several special features throughout the book will enhance your experience as a reader and serve as learning aids. This text is available in a variety of formats-digital and print.

Beyond the subject matter, however, there are several features contained in the book itself that are new to this edition"--
