"Betsy Thom and Susanne MacGregor have done the sterling service of compiling an excellent selection of the classic papers in the addiction field for the illumination of its students and practitioners. These volumes deserve to be in the library of any university or organisation that is active in the addictions field. They should also be read by any social scientist or humanities scholar with than interest in the field of drug studies and addiction." -- Professor Wayne Hall "This collection of addiction science articles is launched at the right time. It will be an obligatory companion for students in the increasing number of addiction science master or doctoral programs in the European universities. The volumes give a panorama of the state of art of addiction science knowledge. The texts are inspiring by showing the multitude of questions and perspectives, the number of still unsolved questions, and the intellectual fantasy and transgressions of disciplinary boundaries needed for good addiction research. The article format stimulates the condensed and efficient presentation of ideas and findings, as already many of the titles show. It has an English language and culture bias. Still this will surely be a classical work, a document of the phase in addiction research, when it had reached a mature state, and before the global balance changed." -- Kerstin Stenius
