- 2010039231 abstract "We see it in films like Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting, read about it in the obituaries of stars like Kurt Cobain, hear about its resurgence in the latest news. We know all about heroin, and yet, beyond the myth of its powers and dangers, how much do we really know about this evermore pervasive drug? This book provides an examination of the drug from the discovery of opium by the Sumerians nearly 7,000 years ago to the use, abuse, treatment, and meaning of heroin in our day. A reference on the drug's history, pharmacology, psychology, and sociology, this work also offers an account of heroin's power and persistent allure, its medicinal benefits and destructive nature. It contains personal stories and vignettes, and puts a human face on the long and complex story behind this notorious drug. First published in 1998, this book provided a definitive account of the drug's many myths and truths. This second edition has been revised to reflect changes in heroin use and new research findings about the drug's neurological effects.".
