Painkillers and Tranquilizers

(4) YA Just the Facts series. Each of these books explores its subject by relaying its medical, clinical, and/or chemical aspects and by looking at its social ramifications, especially for teens. The material is organized into manageable but at times oddly sequenced short chapters, and the candid color photos are more effective than the posed images, as of ostensibly depressed people hanging their heads. Reading list. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Just the Facts titles: AIDS, STDs, Painkillers and Tranquilizers, Alternative Medicine, Depression, and Eating Disorders.]
