520    Galax, a small Virginia town at the foot of the Blue Ridge
       Mountains, was one of the first places that Henry H. 
       Brownstein, Timothy M. Mulcahy, and Johannes Huessy 
       visited for their study of the social dynamics of 
       methamphetamine markets--and what they found changed 
       everything. They had begun by thinking of methamphetamine 
       markets as primarily small-scale mom-and-pop businesses 
       operated by individual cooks who served local users--
       generally stymied by ever more strenuous laws. But what 
       they found was a thriving and complex transnational 
       industry. And this reality was repeated in towns and 
       cities across America, where the methamphetamine market 
       was creating jobs and serving as a focus for daily lives 
       and social experience. The Methamphetamine Industry in 
       America describes the reality that the methamphetamine 
       industry is a social phenomenon connecting local, national,
       and international communities and markets. The book 
       details the results of a groundbreaking three-stage study,
       part of a joint initiative of the National Institute on 
       Drug Abuse and the National Institute of Justice, in which
       police agencies across the United States were surveyed and
       their responses used to identify likely areas of study. 
       The authors then visited these areas to observe and 
       interview local participants, from users and dealers to 
       law enforcement officers and clinical treatment workers. 
       Through the eyes and words of these participants, the book
       tells the story of the evolution of methamphetamine 
       markets in the United States over the past several years, 
       given changes in public policies and practices and 
       changing public opinion about methamphetamine. The authors
       look closely at how the markets are part of a larger 
       industry, how they are socially organized, and how they 
       operate. They also consider the relationships among the 
       people involved and those around them, and the national, 
       regional, and local culture of the markets. Their work 
       demonstrates the importance of understanding the business 
       of methamphetamine--and by extension other drugs in 
       society--through a lens that focuses on social behavior, 
       social relationships, and the cultural elements that shape
       the organization and operation of this illicit but 
       effective industry.
