E-DRUG:  Books on Pills (8)
-----------------------------------------------------
[It is time for the moderator to put the titles all together so we can see where we are up to.  We will share the list next week.  BS]

A minute after I sent my first list of classic books I was kicking myself for not including more.

All of my favourites about drugs have now been mentioned except 5:

A prophesy of the use of drugs for political control by keeping the population feeling content:
Aldous Huxley. Brave New World 1932

Evidence based medicine for the general public:
Judy Irwig, Les Irwig & Melissa Sweet. Smart Health Choices. Sydney: Allen & Unwin 1999

Jeffrey Robinson. Prescription Games. Toronto: McCelland & Stewart 2001

Ray Moynihan. Too much medicine. Sydney: ABC Books 2001

Ray Moynihan & Alan Cassels. Selling Sickness. Sydney: Allen & Unwin 2005 (mentioned by Jude but without the second
author.)
