Recognizes that caffeine is a weak drug,
By A Customer
This review is from: Caffeine: The Most Popular Stimulant (Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Drugs. Series 1) (Library Binding)
This book provides a good look at the well known alerting agent, caffeine, which is a weak drug. There are other books which more closely look at the role of caffeine on paying attention, perhaps the most famous book being How to Cure Hyperactivity (ADHD)(1981) by Dr. Anita Uhl Brothers, M.D., of Berkeley, California and C. Thomas Wild which reports that caffeine compounds can temporarily reduce distractibility and increase attention span for a small subgroup of those with Attention Deficit Disorder, working better and with less side effects than Ritalin.
