Описание:

Based on the NPT three-part mini series, Do No Harm: The Opioid Epidemic follows author and director, Harry Wiland as he works to unearth the history and truth behind America's rampant opioid crisis, and investigates how this crisis ballooned into an epidemic fueled by Big Pharma's ploys, the medical community's obliviousness, and policymakers lack of oversight.

The Opioid Epidemic is the worst man-made drug epidemic in the history of our nation. More people die each year from an opioid drug overdose than in automobile accidents. The statistics are staggering. Do No Harm spotlights experts, journalists, and public health crusaders who are combating the special interests of Big Pharma and informing the world on how an aggressive pharmaceutical mass marketing campaign for the new drug OxyContin misled doctors and the public into our current crisis of death and addiction.

Wiland highlights the stories of those hit hardest by prescription opioid addiction and overdose death, and sheds light on how whole communities have been ravaged by the spread of addiction. Despite regional health experts, local government, law enforcement, journalists, and the DEA's efforts to combat the epidemic, people continue to die at an alarming rate from prescription drug overdoses.

The chapters of this book chronicle this opioid epidemic in all its complexity from many perspectives including the plight of the millions of Americans who suffer from opioid addiction. People, young and old on the rocky road to recovery, tell their harrowing stories, current victories, and on-going struggles with the disease.

From the foreword..

Brad Kolodny provides an important history, inventory, and photo archive of the synagogues of Long Island. He has identified 219 active synagogues on Long Island (not counting Brooklyn and Queens), of which 166 are in Nassau County and 53 in Suffolk County. Additionally, there are 67 still-standing former synagogue buildings, 44 in Nassau and 23 in Suffolk. This volume offers a look at all these synagogues and in so doing traces the history of Long Island's Jewish religious life.

In these buildings we see the variation in American synagogue design for functional and aesthetic reasons. We also track the trajectory of popular styles throughout the 20^th century and see how styles reflect changes in Jewish community organization and Jewish identity. Through synagogue design we see how Jews have viewed themselves and presented themselves to others. Different branches of Judaism and different budgets explain some changes. But so, too, do different eras, as the American Jewish experience has played out on Long Island and continues to develop and evolve.
