Moving from AA's beginnings in the mid-1930s as a men's fellowship that met in church basements to the thoroughly commercialized addiction treatment centers of today, Travis chronicles the development of recovery and examines its relationship to the broad American tradition of self-help, highlighting the roles that gender, mysticism, and print culture have played in that development.Travis draRecovery movementHistoryRecovery movementHistory.362.292362.292/86362.29286Travis Trysh1479033MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780838003321The language of the heart3694916UNINA01091nam0 22002771i 450 UON0023433620231205103517.27688-14-09626-020030730d2002 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||ˆIl ‰diritto all'informazione nell'Unione europeaMaria MigliazzaMilanoGiuffrè2002VIII, 256 p.22 cm.001UON001718582001 ˆL'‰Italia e la vita giuridica internazionale 210 MilanoGiuffrè21InformazioneAspetti giuridiciUONC037752FIITMilanoUONL000005MIGLIAZZAMariaUONV141991147590GiuffrèUONV257275650ITSOL20250801RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00234336SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI PUB H 0569 SI SC 37815 5 0569 Diritto all'informazione nell'Unione europea68656UNIOR
