Inventing the Addict is full of excellent things. It not only makes an important contribution to the field of addiction studies and many other areas of present interest in cultural, social, and material studies, it also functions partly as a summary and synthesis of much current work in nineteenth-century civilization. - Marty Roth, author of Drunk the Night Before: An Anatomy of Intoxication
