There are hundreds, if not thousands, of substances that are used to modify behavior. While different classes of substances have known effects, one has only to see a group of people drinking to excess to recognize that not everyone responds in the same way to a given substance. Why do substances have the behavioral effects they do, and why do individuals vary in their responses to them? This book provides a conceptual framework for answering such questions. It includes the following chapters:
Thomas Byrne and Alan Poling on Principles of Behavior Analysis Alan Poling and Thomas Byrne on Principles of Pharmacology Lisa Baker, Thomas Morgan, and Alan Poling on Neuropharmacology Alan Poling and Thomas Byrne on Assessing Drug Effects in Non-Humans Susan Snycerski, Sean Laraway, and Alan Poling on Basic Research with Humans Alan Poling, Thomas Byrne, and Thomas Morgan on the Stimulus Properties of Drugs Alan Poling on the Variables that Influence Drug Action Scott H. Kollins, Kristal Ehrhardt, and Alan Poling on Clinical Drug Assessment Sean Laraway, Susan Snycerski, Thomas Byrne, and Alan Poling on Drug Abuse |

This is a superb text which goes into great detail of explaining a multitude of effects drugs have on nonhuman and human systems. I know the author, Dr. Alan Poling, as he was my professor for Behavioral Pharmacology at Western Michigan University in the fall of 2007. A must for the field of behavioral pharmacology, and I believe to be a good reference text for pharmacology and medicine as well. Gives some great insight into behavior analysis, operant condition, and respondent conditioning, and brings you up to speed before going into the behavioral aspects of drugs. It speaks to many levels, from the novice undergraduate, to the graduate student and beyond, and is supplemented with charts and data from his lab experiments. There's also some discussion of behavioral neuroscience as well, which can be helpful in descriving how the drugs affect the Central Nervous System.
