At the same time, he was immersed in street life. Today he is a cutting-edge neuroscientist--Columbia University's first tenured African American professor in the sciences--whose landmark, controversial research is redefining our understanding of addiction. In this provocative memoir. he recalls his journey of self-discovery. He examines the relationship among drugs, pleasure, choice, and motivation, both in the brain and in society. His findings shed new light on common ideas about race, poverty, and drugs, and explain why current policies are failing. Determined to make a difference, he tirelessly applies his scientific research to help save real lives. But balancing his former street life with his achievements today has not been easy--a struggle he reflects on publicly for the first time. This powerful story of hope will alter the way we think about how we can effect change.--From publisher description. 600 10 $a Hart, Carl L. 600 10 $a Hart, Carl L. $x Childhood and youth. 600 10 $a Hart, Carl L. $x Drug use. 650 0 $a Neuroscientists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Ex-drug addicts $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Drugs of abuse $x Physiological effect. 650 0 $a Drug abuse $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Drug addicts $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Drug addicts $x Rehabilitation. 650 0 $a Drug abuse $z United States. 941 $a 12 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202015012.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214050541.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204065402.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110051326.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214021157.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211011623.0 952 $l NVPB663 $d 20191106010349.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926022350.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140917013039.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20131120010257.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20131002011314.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20130907014102.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1DA6A7C6EDDD11E2B7BBC58DDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
