| Abstract
|
:
|
The subject of the book is the pharmacology of ethanol. It brings together the work of both basic and clinical investigators in the pharmacology of alcohol and alcohol abuse. It is comprehensive in its scope, with a major focus on the integration of findings from different levels of analysis. In addition, recent insights from molecular biology are discussed in terms of their relevance for understanding ethanol's effects and their implications for the development of medications. The main benefit the reader will derive from the book is an up-to-date, in-depth treatment of the field, with a particular focus on how research findings from diverse approaches may be integrated and how these findings may influence future investigations.
