Creating the American junkie: addiction research in the classic era of narcotic control

tragedy and the discovery of teratogens, the legalization of abortion, and growing attention to the problems of women's alcoholism following the women's liberation movement. This volume amply lives up to its aim of exploring the intertwined relations between child health and society from the late nineteenth century to the present. It forms a significant contribution to the history of medicine and child health, opening up fascinating areas of research that would benefit from similar analysis in other countries.
