We see it in films like Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting, read about it in the obituaries of stars like Kurt Cobain, hear about its resurgence in the latest news.

The definitive reference on the drug’s history, pharmocology, psychology, and sociology, this groundbreaking work also offers a spell-binding account of heroin’s power and persistent allure. Animated with vivid personal stories and vignettes, Heroin puts a human face on the long and

This book was written for heroin sufferers, their families, friends and health carers. Dr Beck uses Buprenorphine, Group Therapy and to a lesser extent Naltrexone ( as he has found that in most cases Buprenorphine is more beneficial ) and other medications where necessary. The most up to date information has been condensed into this book.

Heroin first saw the light of day a century and a quarter ago in a laboratory in Paddington Station, London. Since then it has spread across most parts of the world in fits and starts, temporarily held up here or blocked there, but pushing on with a persistence that has eventually overcome all obstacles. Despite the reach of heroin, the information on which public debate about heroin is based is quite often wrong. Tom Carnwath and Ian Smith have written The Heroin Century to set the record straight. Their fascinating account of the development and use of this twentieth-century drug provides
