(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire / -- Barry I. Gold, author of We're Overdosed and We're Overdosed: From Opium to Opioids (Sweetspire Literature Management / Central Park South Publishing), will make an exclusive appearance and book signing at the Frankfurt Buchmesse 2025, the world's largest and most prestigious international book fair.

Gold's attendance underscores the growing global dialogue around the opioid crisis, public health, and historical accountability-themes powerfully explored in his works. The event offers media, readers, and industry professionals a chance to meet the author and engage with the urgent questions his books raise.

Barry I. Gold's We're Overdosed series investigates one of humanity's most pressing modern crises: the spread of addiction from ancient opium to synthetic opioids in the twenty-first century. Drawing from a lifetime in pharmacological science and academic research, Gold exposes how commerce, policy, and human dependency intersected to create the global opioid epidemic.

His second volume, We're Overdosed: From Opium to Opioids, expands this vision-connecting centuries of drug trade to modern pharmaceutical practices. Together, the two books form a comprehensive chronicle of addiction's past, present, and potential future.

Gold's participation in Frankfurt Buchmesse 2025 highlights his mission: to use historical insight and scientific clarity to promote reform, recovery, and renewed awareness on a global scale.
