Persuasive Communication and Drug Abuse Prevention
ISBN: 9780805806939 / Angielski / Twarda / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Reviews of early research appear to indicate inadequate methods and a lack of rigor in theory testing. In recent years, however, research in...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. .In Our Right to Drugs, Thomas Szasz shows that our present drug war started at the beginning of this century, when the American government first assumed the task of protecting people from patent medicines. By the end of World War I, however, the free market in drugs was but a dim memory, if that. Instead of dwelling on the familiar impracticality or unfairness of our drug laws, Szasz demonstrates the deleterious effects of prescription laws which place people under lifelong medical tutelage. The result is that most Americans today prefer a coercive and corrupt command drug economy to a... .In Our Right to Drugs, Thomas Szasz shows that our present drug war started at the beginning of this century, when the American government first a... |
