Caffeine: A Medical Dictionary, Bibliography, and Annotated Research Guide
Medical Reference Public Health Pharmacology Research Methodology Sports Science Nutrition Science Chemistry
Caffeine: A Medical Dictionary, Bibliography, and Annotated Research Guide (2004, Icon Health) is the only one-stop desk reference that collates every important medical, pharmacological, and nutritional study on caffeine through the early 2000s. From the molecular formula to withdrawal protocols, every entry is cross-referenced to peer-reviewed journals, FDA reports, and international conference abstracts, giving students, clinicians, nutritionists, and sports-science researchers a fast path to the primary sources they need for papers, product formulations, or patient advice. The annotated bibliography supplies concise abstracts for each citation, so you can decide in seconds whether the full paper is worth ordering—an enormous time-saver when literature reviews can run to hundreds of articles.
What sets this soft-cover apart from open-access databases is its curated scope: it filters out the noise of marketing claims and focuses on human trials, adverse-event data, metabolic pathways, and drug-interaction warnings that practicing professionals must document. Unlike general coffee-table books, the volume includes pediatric dosing, obstetric safety profiles, and performance-enhancement guidelines used by Olympic committees—information that is still cited in 2023 systematic reviews because later studies build on these baseline findings. A detailed glossary converts medical jargon into plain English, making the data accessible to young-adult science writers and barista competitors who want evidence-based answers for customers.
Collectors and university students alike prize the 2004 first printing because later digital editions dropped thousands of the annotated citations. This copy is clean, tightly bound, and free of highlighting or dog-eared pages—only light shelf wear keeps it from grading “like new,” so it can still sit confidently on a reference shelf or travel safely in a lab backpack. For anyone writing on caffeine metabolism, energy-drink regulation, or coffee-related public-health policy, owning the physical book guarantees uninterrupted access to the data, even if online portals change paywalls or licensing.
