Alcohol: No Ordinary Commodity by Ross Homel
On a global level, alcohol is a major contributor to disease, disability, and premature mortality. This book describes the advances in alcohol research, which have relevance for the development of effective alcohol policies at the local, national and international levels. It aims to empower those responsible for public health and social welfare.
This book is a joy to readThroughout the text is clear and jargon-lite ... Overall, an essential addition to the library of any public health department or addiction service. Clinicians wanting a starting point for examining the evidence for various interventions will find it very useful, and we can but hope that policy maker take note. Health Matters The chapters effectively summarise and synthesise the current state of knowledge, and provide a tremendous resource for those interested in alcohol-related problems and their prevention... This book, prepared with support from WHO, builds directly on two similar volumes from previous decades. It will obviously be a central reference used by those specifically working on alcohol, but also makes key contributions to understanding and designing effective prevention policies and programmes for the full range of contemporary health problems. The Lancet
