Drug abuse in sports is not a new phenomenon. It has been prevalent for many years and has been a significant threat to clean, fair competition. Public attention and media exposure has brought what was once a behind-the-scenes problem into the open. The tragic, untimely deaths of superb athletes has brought this taboo issue into sharper focus, and has made the general public gradually aware of the dangers of anabolic steroids and their alarming impact on the sports arena and society in general. Although initially confined to weightlifters and bodybuilders, anabolic steroid use and substance abuse has spread to virtually all areas of competition. The insidious nature of anabolic steroids is that their side effects are not as immediately evident as with recreational drugs. Thus the true long-term results are not recognized for the dangers they present, both physically and psychologically. These very accessible and addictive drugs, combined with the additive or sport-performance enhancement of 'ergogenic' drugs, present an ominous threat to our youth, having the potential to turn them into walking time bombs. This book documents and discusses the health aspects and ethical concerns surrounding this issue. -- from Foreword.

In this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon, Eve Dallas tracks down those who break the law—including the ones sworn to uphold it. Detective Eve Dallas and her partner, Peabody, are following up on a senseless crime—an elderly grocery owner killed by three stoned punks for nothing more than kicks and snacks. This is Peabody’s first case as primary detective—good thing she learned from the master. But soon Peabody stumbles upon a trickier situation. After a hard workout, she’s all alone in the locker room when the gym door clatters open, and—while hiding inside a shower stall trying not to make a sound—she overhears two fellow officers arguing. It doesn’t take long to realize they’re both crooked—guilty not just of corruption but of murder. Now Peabody, Eve, and Eve’s husband, Roarke, are trying to get the hard evidence they need to bring down the dirty cops—knowing all the while that the two are willing to kill to keep their secret.

MEAN GIRLS meets IT’S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY when two teenage girls’ worlds collide when one attempts suicide to avoid toxic popularity. Carter Harper may have created an award-winning app and have a 3.93 GPA, but her successes are overshadowed by brutal bullying, depression, and loneliness. Tired of being treated as the popular girls’ plaything, Carter thinks her only choice is to die by suicide. Abby Wallace is one of the most popular girls in school, subordinate only to Kelsey, her best friend with benefits. The ambitious poet destroys reputations without care to prove how cool, cruel, and strong she is, all while pushing down her past trauma and secret guilt. Carter and Abby’s tumultuous relationship comes to a boiling point when Abby stops Carter from attempting suicide. But what happens when they have to protect one another from Kelsey’s harmful antics? If Carter and Abby can stand each other for more than three minutes, they can stop Kelsey from hurting more girls—and maybe become friends in the process. In the tradition of Courtney Summers and Laurie Halse Anderson, DEATH BY SOCIETY questions how far we’ll go to gain power over our lives—and what happens when we use our voices for both good and to harm others.
