The government’s approved them. You don’t need a prescription. You can get them at practically any market. So, there’s obviously no danger in over-the-counter medications, right?Wrong.The simple fact is that when taken in ways other than as directed, over-the-counter medications can be just as dangerous as many illegal drugs. And because there’s a false sense of security about the medications - and because they are in almost everyone’s home medicine cabinet - the abuse and misuse of over-the-counter medications are on the rise."Abusing Over-the-Counter Drugs: Illi

For nearly three quarters of a century, the modernist way of reading has been the only way of reading James Joyceuseful, yes, and powerful but, like all frameworks, limited. This book takes a leap across those limits into postmodernism, where the pleasures and possibilities of an unsuspected Joyce are yet to be found. Kevin J. H. Dettmar begins by articulating a stylistics of postmodernism drawn from the key texts of Roland Barthes, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Jean-Franois Lyotard. Read within this framework, Dubliners emerges from behind its modernist facade as the earliest product

During the past decade, media and medical forces have combined to create an alarming view of pregnant mothers who use illicit drugs. The result has been increased state control of these women and their infants. This in-depth study is the first in Canada to look at how mothers who use illicit drugs regard the laws, medical practices, and social services that intervene in their lives.Focusing on practices in western Canada, Susan C. Boyd argues that licit and illicit drug categories are artificial and dangerous and that the evidence for neonatal syndrome (NAS) is suspect and ideologically driven

This book uncovers the drug facts - the myths, the root causes, and the many drug-related events - and delivers the urgently needed hope that much can be achieved with a different drug policy. It is the author
