The American Prison: Issues in Research and Policy
ISBN: 9781468456547 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Despite the dire forecasts of others who had themselves edited books, we proceeded with the project of an edited volume on the American prison, although with more than a little trepidation. We had heard the horror stories of authors turning in their chapters months or years late or never at all, of publishers delaying publication dates, of volumes that read more like patchwork quilts than finely loomed cloth. As if to prove the others wrong, our experience in editing this volume has been mar velous, and we think the volume reflects this. Most likely, the success of our experience and of the...
