In this updated and revised text, Michael Walker presents a wide-ranging review of late-1990s theory and research on gambling. Types of gambling are explored, as well as the position of gambling in society and related issues such as the morality and "globalization of gambling".

This book should prove a useful reference and research tool for those persons working in psychology, counselling and health related fields. It should also be of use to postgraduate students in these areas.
