Two quick questions. Does anyone know how I can get my hands on a copy of Bill White's _Slaying the Dragon_ relatively quickly? I ordered it last year from Chapters.ca (a Canadian online bookseller) but it never arrived. Now I find that the status of it at Chapters and at Amazon is ... it's gonna take a while. (Ironically, I went the internet route because it's generally faster) Second (related) question: An undergraduate friend of mine is writing a final term paper on addiction, and her supervisor asked her to get into definitions of addiction (social and scientific) I know that White's book covers that, if the paper that he presented in Philadelphia in 1998 is any indication. I've dug up a few other relevant papers for my friend. If anyone has any suggestions for her, please let me know. Thanks.
