Recensioner i media

“The book is well written, and the arguments are well supported and illustrated. … the work will appeal to social scientists, particularly those interested in stakeholders as policy actors and those interested in how research evidence is received and used by different social groups. It is recommended as a valuable contribution to existing historical accounts.” (Betsy Thom, The Social History of Alcohol and Drugs, Vol, 38 (2), 2024)
