Substance Abuse in the Czech Population:
The book maps the reflection of social and health threats of substance abuse in the population of the Czech Republic. The dependence of the perception of substance abuse on age, gender, and education is analyzed. The book also offers an analysis of the relationship of these threats to the value preferences of substance users, including the use of this value context in prevention and intervention in social work and social pedagogy. Attention is given to four key groups of addictive substances: alcohol, tobacco and tobacco products, drugs and medicines, and illicit drugs.
Feature Films, 1950-1959
In the 1950s, television pushed filmmakers toward such processes as CinemaScope and the increasing use of color. Serials and B Westerns, two staples since the silent era, were no longer money-makers and vanished, while the new breed of producers began to challenge the censorship code, bringing an ever-increasing amount of more explicit movies to theaters. From Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick (Paramount, 1952) to Zombies of Mora Tau (Columbia, 1957), this comprehensive work provides full filmographic data on 3,078 American films of the 1950s. Each entry includes full cast and credits, songs, running time, alternate titles and availability on video. The entries conclude with a brief plot description. An appendix lists the award winning films from the decade.
