Sara Houser - 3rd Annotative Bibliography

Carson-DeWitt, Rosalyn. Encyclopedia of drugs, alcohol & addictive behavior. 2nd ed. 4 vols. New York: Macmillan Reference USA, 2001. Print.
The "Encyclopedia of Drugs, Alcohol, and Addictive Behavior" is about the effect that drugs, alcohol has on people and how it affects their behavior in a negative way. The encyclopedia also discusses many issues which include legal, social, family life, physical and mental issues. This encyclopedia could be a great source for me to use about drugs and alcohol but focus more on the issues of alcohol that causes behavior to change amongst people.

McBee Knox, Jean. Drinking, Driving, Drugs. New York: Chelsea House, 1988. Print.
"Drinking, Driving, Drugs" is a book about how drug use and alcohol abuse impact our culture, the work field, and individuals directly. This book would not be a relavent source to use within my papers because it would be too old of data about the topic of alcohol abuse.

Acker, Caroline Jean, and Sarah W. Tracy. Altering American consciousness : the history of alcohol and drug use in the United States, 1800-2000. Amherst, Mass: University of Massachusetts Press, 2004. Print.
"Altering American Consciousness: The History of Alcohol and Drug Use in the United States" is about the changing nature of drugs and alcohol from the years of 1800 to 2000. The authors discuss how drugs and alcohol had changed throughout the years and all of the controversies that went along with it. This book could be a useful source for my research on the effects of alcohol on college students, because I might be able to find how alcohol evolved from the 19th century until now.

Fisher, Gary L. , and Nancy A. Roget. Encyclopedia of substance abuse prevention, treatment, & recovery. Los Angeles: SAGE, 2009. Print.
The "Encyclopedia of Substance Abuse Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery" is about how people abuse alochol or other illegal substances and the process of going through treatment to recover. The authors discuss programs that one can go through in order to become fully recovered from any alcohol or other substance abuse. I think that this encyclopedia could be useful to use in my research paper if I was going to do a paragraph about how a college student can recover from alcohol use.
