Can each of us achieve our own "American dream" while recognizing needs of other individuals, society, and future generations? Not if our present national policies continue, warns long term planning expert Joseph L. Daleiden.

ISBN: 9780739118740 / Angielski / Twarda / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
