This book introduces students to leadership and management principles commonly used in pharmacy practice. It examines the foundations of leadership and the management challenges leaders and practitioners face, and provides practical examples on how to solve some of these challenges. This second edition takes a stronger approach to leadership, making it part and parcel to every topic discussed throughout the text. The organization of the text follows a learner-centered approach using more examples and focusing on problem solving and critical thinking versus just conveying of information.

Written in the same accessible manner as previous editions, this comprehensive book is an essential reference covering the pathology, toxicology, and pharmacology of commonly and some uncommonly abused drugs. It focuses on investigating drug-related deaths, offers practical approaches to detecting drug abuse, and describes medical complications associated with each of the abused drugs. Chapters examine cocaine and other naturally occurring stimulants, synthetic stimulants, hallucinogens, narcotics, anabolic steroids, and solvent abuse. The book also details the origins, history, and production techniques used to make these drugs.
