Crystal meth is widely considered the world's most dangerous drug, but especially so in the small towns of the American heartland. Journalist Reding tells the story of Oelwein, Iowa (pop. 6,159), which, like thousands of other small towns, has been left in the dust by the consolidation of the agricultural industry, a depressed local economy, and an out-migration of people. As if this weren't enough, an incredibly cheap, long-lasting, and highly addictive drug has rolled into town. Over a period of four years, journalist Nick Reding brings us into the heart of Oelwein, tracing the connections between the lives touched by the drug and the global forces that set the stage for the epidemic.--From publisher description. 650 0 $a Methamphetamine abuse $z Oelwein. $z Oelwein. 650 0 $a Methamphetamine $z Oelwein. $z Oelwein. 650 0 $a City and town life $z Iowa. 650 1 $a Drug abuse $z Oelwein (Iowa) 650 7 $a City and town life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862081 650 7 $a Methamphetamine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01018559 650 7 $a Methamphetamine abuse. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01018562 651 7 $a Iowa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205835 651 7 $a Iowa $z Oelwein. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01218594 650 17 $a Kleine steden. $2 gtt 650 17 $a Verval (geschiedenis) $2 gtt 650 17 $a Drugsverslaving. $2 gtt 651 7 $a Iowa (staat) $2 gtt 650 7 $a Narkotikamissbruk $z Oelwein. $z Oelwein. $2 sao 650 7 $a Drogmissbruk $z Oelwein. $z Oelwein. $2 sao 650 7 $a Drug abuse $z Oelwein (Iowa) $2 sears 650 7 $a Methamphetamine. $2 sears 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1001/2008045398-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1001/2008045398-d.html 856 31 $u http://books.google.com/books?id=I3FbPQAACAAJ&source=gbs_navlinks_s $z Additional information at Google Books. 941 $a 2 $n 1 952 $l FCPB384 $d 20210603153558.0 $n 13 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20210601122722.0 $n 23 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2DAD44DCAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
