Book Review: OxyContin"This book explains how a legal medication designed to relieve severe, chronic pain has become an addictive drug whose use has reached epic proportions. The author asks readers to consider the many aspects of this situation, including liability...The information is presented in a straightforward manner. Reference aids include a list of agencies dealing with drug abuse. Because web sites often change their Internet link by the time of the publication, Rosen Publishing provides a general link that promises to remain current.

    Another wonderful transaction with this company! I believe this is my 3rd purchase with multiple books in each order and I’ve yet to be disappointed. Books arrived as described - great used condition. Packaging wasn’t great but it’s free shipping and they made it to me intact, so no complaints. The price is unbeatable. Will definitely continue to purchase from them! Highly recommend.
