Reviews
Review: Performance-Enhancing Drugs Underpinning sportsmanship is an abstract idea about the purity of games and the nobility of competition. This volume in Greenhaven's Issues That Concern You series probes whether it is morally wrong for athletes to use steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. Several chapters are adapted from books. One is from a master's thesis. Also included are articles from Reason, The Christian Science Monitor, and many online news sources. There is an appendix with emphatic character education guidance related to the subject, a list of organizations for contact, a bibliography of books and journal articles, and an index. This would pair well with or provide additional information for teens reading Carl Dekker's Gym Candy, Juiced by Eric Walter or any of the other young adult novels addressing steroid in high school athletics. Recommended for school libraries.--Reference Unbound, May 2010
