Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) "It is morning again in America," Reagan's campaign commercials told us, and for too long we embraced that convenient lie.

It was a time of breathtaking strides in science and unprecedented possibility. A time of squandered opportunities and grave distraction. A time of tragic complacency and belief in our invulnerability.
In The Best of Times, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Haynes Johnson looks back on the decade that defied anyone's expectations, for better or worse.
