The Soul of Recovery
Millions of alcoholics and addicts recover through spirituality. In The Soul of Recovery: Uncovering the Spiritual Dimension in the Treatment of Addictions, author and journalist Christopher D. Ringwald tells how and why they seek and achieve these transformations. Ranging as far back as the Washingtonian Total Abstinence Society in 1840, Ringwald illuminates the use of spirituality within a wide range of treatment options--from the famous Twelve Step-style programs to those tailored to the needs of addicted women, Native Americans, or homeless teens not ready to quit. Focusing on the results rather than the validity of beliefs espoused by these programs, he demonstrates how addicts recover ...
The Spell of the Sensuous
Winner of the International Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction Animal tracks, word magic, the speech of stones, the power of letters, and the taste of the wind all figure prominently in this intellectual tour de force that returns us to our senses and to the sensuous terrain that sustains us.

Public Opinion, Public Policy, and Smoking
Public Opinion, Public Policy, and Smoking tracks Americans’ changing attitudes about cigarette smoking over the last century. With data from more than five thousand public and privately conducted polls, this book carefully examines how Americans came to understand the health risks of smoking; how the tobacco industry sought to reframe smoking; and how public opinion support for tobacco control affected lawsuits, elections, and public policies. This book tests several well-known linkage models that connect public opinion with public policy. It shows that conventional wisdom about public opinion and tobacco control policy is often mistaken. This book offers the first in-depth look at American public opinion and cigarette smoking during the last century.
Alcohol and Tobacco
Despite the frequent co-occurrence of alcohol & tobacco addiction, until recently little was known about the relationship between ethanol & nicotine. This compendium is based on presentations at a symposium held in 1994. Scientists at the conference were senior researchers concerned with co-occurrence of alcohol & tobacco dependence. They summarized the state of knowledge on a specific topic in their assigned domains & identify issues most in need of further investigation. The papers are in 2 sections: psychosocial & biological mechanisms of alcohol-tobacco use: & alcohol-tobacco use & dependence: treatment, early intervention, & policy. Illustrations.
