Recent Developments in Alcoholism : Alcohol Problems in Adolescents and Young Adults. Epidemiology. Neurobiology. Prevention. Treatment (Recent Developments in Alcoholism)

Buy
Even after stepping through the doorway into the 21st century, alcoholism remains a major contributor to the excess morbidity and mortality experienced by Americans. No where is this unmet need more dramatic than its impact on adolescents.

In this edition, the authors cover the wide spectrum of epidemiologic, prevention, neurobiological, behavioral and clinical issues related to alcohol use and adolescents. The wide range of topical areas mirrors the prominence of alcoholism and alcohol abuse in the American landscape. Each of these areas alone presents significant challenges and opportunities to assist in understanding the fundamental issues and crafting effective remedies.

Aside from the obvious value of contributing to the scientific portfolio of what is known, the value of this edition is meaningful beyond the eloquent study designs and erudite principles presented by the superb cadre of authors. Adolescence is already challenging. The addition of alcohol has only made it more so.

It makes sense that effective remedies to this major public health and societal challenge would be multifaceted, comprehensive, and guided by scientific evidence. The scientific information in this edition provides ample contributions to this effort.

Alcohol is the substance most frequently used by youth. According to 2002 data from Monitoring the Future (MTF), a nationally representative survey of youth, 78% of 12th graders, 67% of 10th graders and 47% of 8th graders reported consuming alcohol in their lives. Youth who drink may experience a range of adverse short and long-term consequences including academic problems such as lower grades or school failure, social problems, physical problems such as hangovers or medical illnesses, unwanted or unintended sexual activity, physical and sexual assault, memory problems, increased risk for suicide and homicide, alcohol-related car crashes and death from alcohol poisoning. Clearly, drinking by young people and its consequences presents a significant public health problem which must command attention. This volume of Recent Developments in Alcoholism focusing on alcohol consumption by adolescents and young adults is therefore extremely timely.

Computational Geometry: Algorithms and Applications
Computational Geometry: Algorithms and Applications
Computational geometry emerged from the field of algorithms design and analysis in the late 1970s. It has grown into a recognized discipline with its own journals, conferences, and a large community of active researchers. The success of the field as a research discipline can on the one hand be explained from the beauty of the...

Managing and Using MySQL (2nd Edition)

Programmers have always put together software on their own time to "scratch their own itches." Until the 1990s, however, programmers lacked distribution mediums for mass marketing their creations. The Internet changed that and gave life to grass-roots software distribution philosophies that have challenged those of the software...


Parameter Estimation for Scientists and Engineers
Parameter Estimation for Scientists and Engineers
The subject of this book is estimating parameters of expectation models of statistical observations. The book describes what I consider the most important aspects of the subject for applied scientists and engineers. From experience, I know that this group of users is often not aware of estimators other than least squares. Therefore, one of my...
Solitons, Instantons, and Twistors (Oxford Graduate Texts in Mathematics)
Solitons, Instantons, and Twistors (Oxford Graduate Texts in Mathematics)

Most nonlinear differential equations arising in natural sciences admit chaotic behaviour and cannot be solved analytically. Integrable systems lie on the other extreme. They possess regular, stable, and well behaved solutions known as solitons and instantons. These solutions play important roles in pure and applied mathematics as well as in...
