Trade Paperback. First Edition. First paperback edition (first printing). A near fine copy. Why have our drug wars failed and how might we turn things around? Ask the authors of this hardhitting exposè of U.S. efforts to fight drug trafficking and abuse. In a bold analysis of a century's worth of policy failure, Drug War Politics turns on its head many familiar bromides about drug politics. It demonstrates how, instead of learning from our failures, we duplicate and reinforce them in the same flawed policies. The authors examine the "politics of denial" that has led to this catastrophic predicament and propose a basis for a realistic and desperately needed solution. Domestic and foreign drug wars have consistently fallen short because they are based on a flawed model of force and punishment, the authors show. The failure of these misguided solutions has led to harsher get-tough policies, debilitating cycles of more force and punishment, and a drug problem that continues to escalate. On the foreign policy front, billions of dollars have been wasted, corruption has mushroomed, and human rights undermined in Latin America and across the globe. Yet cheap drugs still flow abundantly across our borders. At home, more money than ever is spent on law enforcement, and an unprecedented number of people-disproportionately minorities-are incarcerated. But drug abuse and addiction persist. The authors outline the political struggles that help create and sustain the current punitive approach. They probe the workings of Washington politics, demonstrating how presidential and congressional "out-toughing" tactics create a logic of escalation while the criticisms and alternatives of reformers are sidelined or silenced. Critical of both the punitive model and the legalization approach, Drug War Politics calls for a bold new public health approach, one that frames the drug problem as a public health-not a criminal-concern. The authors argue that only by situating drug issues in the context of our fundamental institutions-the family, neighborhoods, and schools-can we hope to provide viable treatment, prevention, and law enforcement. In its comprehensive investigation of our long, futile battle with drugs and its original argument for fundamental change, this book is essential for every concerned citizen.…

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Previous owners name to inside cover. Slight foxing to end inside covers. Wear, tear and marks to D/J. Price clipped to D/J. Knowledge of Extra-Sensory Perceptions seems to have brought us to the threshold of a revolution of thought of vast dimensions. The authors of this immensely readable introduction to the subject and to Mediumship have aimed their book at a popular audience and hope to show the exciting possibilities that recent discovires have created. After a brief historical survey of the scientific investigation of parapsychological phenomena, they indicate the extend of present-day knowledge of telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and 'teleportation'. Moving from the laboratory, the authors look at their subject from a different, more human angle, and examine two fascinating case-histories of mediumship. One is that of Col. Fawcett, the explorer, and the other deals with the rediscovery of the Ancient Egyptian language. Physical research has always had battles of its own to contend with; not only do the Churches view its activities with misgivings, but many scientist and scholars are likewise sceptical. The authors deal with these difficulties and examine their material for its intrinsic value, its significance in the eternal quest of mankind to determine its true position in the universe. Their conclusions make compelling reading for all those who find it difficult to believe that materialism is all that the world has to offer. 160 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
