Customer Reviews

Having taken a class under Dragan...

He's an excellent writer and professor...His work must be taken in small increments, and be absorbed. Very worthwhile reading. Dragan is one of the better writers in dealing with sociology, semiotics and law. This is a must-have. I have also read several works that Stuart Henry has contributed to...he's a plethora of information as well.
