The facts about LSD A new book on LSD is long overdue, but this was worth waiting for. The material is thoughtful and carefully prepared, and the collection brings the topic into the 1990s. The book should be in every library, and read by everyone interested in the American drug scene. --James A. Inciardi, Ph.D., professor and director, Center for Drug and Alcohol Studies, University of Delaware The authors offer an insightful look at LSD use and provide an essential resource for parents, counselors, and educators. Far from fading out after the 1960's LSD has in fact never gone away, and the percentage of high school seniors using the drug is now only slightly lower than it was twenty years ago. The book examines why young people in the 1990s are using LSD--its appeal, its experience, and where kids are getting it. Solidly researched and dispassionately written, this book weaves current studies and anecdotes with recent statistics to create a vivid, complete, and credible picture of contemporary LSD use.

Addiction & Recovery

One of American business's most pervasive and least recognized problems is a lack of internal cooperation. Managers talk a great deal about teamwork, but can't get employees to work well together. Departments strive to be more efficient and customer-focused, but often waste time overcoming bureaucratic obstacles erected within their own organization. CEOs exhort their companies to outperform the competition, yet employees spend more energy competing with the person down the hall. Corporate strategy expert Lawrence G. Hrebiniak asserts that the inability of most Americans to cooperate with each other in the workplace curtails innovation, reduces product quality, slows responses to customers, wastes resources, and jeopardizes alliances. Drawing on his extensive research and consulting experience, Hrebiniak identifies the individual, organizational, and cultural impediments to cooperation. One of the chief barriers is the same force that is responsible for many American business successes. The individual drive for achievement, which Hrebiniak calls the "I-Force," is as American as the Horatio Alger, John D. Rockefeller, and Thomas Edison legends. But in this new era that demands information sharing, quick responses, and team efforts, he says, the traditional "I-Force" must be leveraged into a more collaborative "We-Force." Hrebiniak demonstrates how to foster a more cooperative attitude among individual employees and how to recognize and remedy the institutional barriers to cooperation that are inherent in most pay plans, communication systems, organizational structures, and corporate goals. The We-Force in Management offers CEOs, executives, and managers important and practical advice that will help eliminate internal one-upmanship, facilitate communication among departments, foster cooperation among divisions around the globe, or strengthen a joint partnership.
