520    This volume provides an examination of the drug heroin 
       from the discovery of opium by the Sumerians nearly 7,000 
       years ago to the use, abuse, treatment, and meaning of 
       heroin in our day. A reference on the drug's history, 
       pharmacology, psychology, and sociology, this work also 
       offers an account of heroin's power and persistent allure,
       its medicinal benefits and destructive nature. It contains
       personal stories and vignettes, and puts a human face on 
       the long and complex story behind this notorious drug. 
       First published in 1998, this book provided a definitive 
       account of the drug's many myths and truths. This second 
       edition has been revised to reflect changes in heroin use 
       and new research findings about the drug's neurological 
       effects.
