The Chase: The Compulsive Gambler

By Henry Lesieur

Lesieur goes into poolrooms, racetracks, bowling alleys, and football stadiums in this study of those who must gamble in the context of social forces they face -- showing how increased involvement and reduced options interact as a spiral. An excellent tool for sociologists and clinicians studying the cause and effect of addiction.
