from David M. Fahey Miami University (Ohio) [log in to unmask] At my university requests for textbook orders arrive early. Later this month I must identify the books that I'll use next Fall including a new senior seminar on alcohol and other drugs in world history. I have been able to identify affordable books on drugs in world history. For alcohol/temperance nearly all books are country specific. I have found an affordable book for the USA. Is there anything for Britain that is reasonably priced? The first book that I investigated lists at US$85 which isn't practical. By the way, the world histories of alcohol by Phillips and by Hames won't be available in time for me.
