EDITORIAL :
From Publishers Weekly Ketcham (Under the Influence) and Pace, founding director of the American Council on Drug Education, present an honest and factual look at the problem of teenage substance abuse in this valuable parenting resource. Their compassionate approach should be highly valuable both to parents of children who are already abusing drugs and alcohol, and to those who want to prevent their kids from ever using. The book is painstaking and thorough, with a detailed chapter on each drug and how it works. The authors even explain what each drug's high is like (e.g., "cocaine increases brain levels of the feel-good chemical dopamine" and usually makes a user hyperactive, impulsive and talkative). The book's final section gives detailed instructions on how parents can intervene and walk their children through the rehabilitation process, including relapses. Copyright 2003 Reed Busine

Pictured Twincam Fat Boy and Road King is listed as an Evolution powered bike (?) A Heritage Softail is called an Electra Glide, even though in the same lines the softail suspention is mentioned (?)

And as always I started nosing through the book, not reading all the lines but first the picture describtions. The passengers and crew ranged from saint to sinner and 80 years later, questions still remain about the causes of this disaster.
The writing is clear and concise while the numerous photos lend great impact to the book's co
