Presents evidence for how drugs may alter brain function and thereby influence the factors that mediate behavior. Virtually the only text on this subject that includes, as a major topic, "Set and Setting," or the issue of user expectation and the environment in which drugs are taken, is critical to understanding observed behavior after drug ingestion. The text also covers the issues of experimental design within the context of specific drug topics. Presents pharmacology and neurophysiology fundamentals in the context of drugs and behavior to help non-biologically sophisticated readers learn concepts that rely on a knowledge of physiology. Conveys the concept that behavior is determined by many factors, not solely by the pharmacology of drugs in a person's system, a critical behavior issue not emphasized by other books. For those interested in drugs and behavior as it relates to psychology, sociology, pre-nursing, and pre-law. Designed for those with a non-physical science background, but includes enough depth for professionals in the science fields.

In An Enduring Passion, veteran golf writer and commentator Jaime Diaz tees off at St. Andrews, Scotland, where the game was born, and takes readers on a wonderful tour of golf’s history and culture. Here, for instance, are profiles of quintessential pros Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, and Byron Nelson; the evolution of the golf club and other equipment; golf fashion and etiquette; the legendary Arnold Palmer-Jack Nicklaus rivalry; the great courses and their designers; and Tiger Woods and today’s big golf boom. An Enduring Passion brings the subject to life with imaginative interactive items like facsimiles of the original course map of St. Andrews, the famous scorecard documenting the 1962 Palmer/Nicklaus face-off at Oakmont, and other memorabilia of the game.
