Abstract	This collection of resources contains 34 studies which summarize significant developments within the history of psychoactive substance use in developed countries since the sixteenth century. The primary intent of this volume is to provide a greater awareness of the ubiquity of drug use in the past and of the complex and varied factors which have influenced its spread, society's response to the spread, and the effects of that response. The studies review drug use since the Renaissance in the United States, Europe, and Asia with an emphasis on the following substances: alcohol, coffee, tobacco, ether, cocaine, amphetamine, marihuana, opium, and the opiates. Each section includes an introductory review, chronology and summaries of previous research. (Author/HLM)
