A stimulating little tome about the world's favorite mind-altering substances. -- Entertainment Weekly
In an endlessly entertaining and informative collection of coffee and booze trivia, history and anecdotes, award-winning scientist Stephen Braun traces how these substances move through our bodies--and why so many people can't get through the day without one or both.
Concise and witty, will entertain and inform. "Buzz" by Stephen Braun is one of the best science books I've read in a while. Mr. Braun destroyes popular myths about society's most popular drugs, and he replaces those myths with facts and evidence. Often those facts are just as interesting as the myths!The book is witty and full of insight and advice about caffeine and alcohol. A must read. Accessable and accurate A Customer Although I know somewhat more than the average person about both substances, This book gave me new information presented in an interesting style. I would recommend it highly both to the casual reader and to educational programs for medical and substance abuse communities.And, the guy has a sense of humor!!. good research paper book I found this book very informative.
