Big Pharma and the Opioid Epidemic: From Vicodin to Heroin by Eric Braun (Englis

Description: Big Pharma and the Opioid Epidemic by Eric Braun More than 130 people a day in the U.S. die from opioid overdoses. Addiction to legal and illegal opioids has been declared a national crisis. The U.S. spends about $78.5 billion a year on treatment, criminal prosecution, and health care related to the crisis. What caused this massive problem? Can the crisis be slowed or reversed? Students will get practical tips on how to help someone suffering from an addiction or experiencing an overdose, and learn about how the nation is trying to deal with the crisis. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Eric Braun is a childrens author and editor. He has written dozens of books on many topics, and one of his books was read by an astronaut on the International Space Station for kids on Earth to watch. Eric lives in Minneapolis with his wife, two kids, and a dog who is afraid of cardboard. Review Current political topics are explored in these four informational volumes. All books contain up-to-date information and facts, but they are far from comprehensive. The authors convey strong convictions: Pharmaceutical companies are the primary cause of opioid addiction; hate crimes are mostly committed by white supremacists; and undocumented immigrants are largely responsible for the successful economy. She/He/They/Them devotes several pages advising how the LGBTQ community should be addressed and treated. VERDICT She/He/They/Them is the standout title in this series.
