Califano, Joseph A., Jr. -- New York: Public Affairs Books, 2007, xiv, 270 pp. ISBN: 1-58648-335-8.
Substance abuse has touched nearly every family and circle of friends in America. It contributes to -- and aggrevates -- problems such as soaring health costs, crime, family violence and breakup, the spread of AIDS, teen pregnancy, poverty, and low productivity in the workplace. The author is a former U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare and currently president of the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. In this book, he presents a manifesto of actions that can be taken to fundamentally change the way the United States views and confronts drug and alcohol abuse and addiction.
