What Were Your Parents Doing Back Then? : Youth and Drugs in a Southern California Beach Community from 1970 into the 21st Century

Essentially, I believe that Jerry Lowney has achieved some unique feats in social science research and in the field of addiction studies. It should be a valuable example for use in courses on social science methodology. For courses on social problems,alcohol and drug addiction, deviance, and the family, it should provide a very valuable case study. The appropriate people need to know about this unique book. -- Robert Straus, Professor Emeritus of Behavioral Science, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky
By far the most thorough and comprehensive text on the teen drug subculture. It's the only text I have seen that follows the subjects for an extended time period- in this case 30+ years. The depth of inside information on the subculture is second to none. You won't be disappointed. * Amazon.Com *
This book is thorough-covers 31 years of research, but presents a very human understanding... It combines the story of the young people with the author's own life journey (he even enters the priesthood during the course of his research). Brings back some great (and not so great-now that I think about them) memories!> * Amazon.Com *
