Abstract
While thevalue and accessibility of a print book will never be completely matched, this volume undoubtedly represents the shape of things to come in educational publishing. This is a CD ROM based, narrated slide show, with text and photographs, regarding the lethal effects of illicit drug groups comprised of inhalants, marijuana, cocaine and amphetamine, LSD and hallucinogens, and heroin. It is highly technical, and according to the author, is directed towards school students, drug awareness programs, and health care personnel, as well as parents with at risk children who wish to learn more about drug abuse. It is clearly intended to highlight the seamier side of recreational drug use, and the unpleasant and not infrequently lethal consequences. The information is quite graphic, and likely to be upsetting to some, however, the product carries an appropriate warning.
