Book Description
Meet Phil Stokes. He’s a journalist; sort of. He’s the most respected reporter at The American Snitch—a gossip rag, junk-food news tabloid. As far as he’s concerned, that makes him the biggest, fattest catfish in a steaming cesspool. He’d strived to be a real journalist, but years ago, his dreams and family were yanked away by a toxic twist of fate. Now he drinks himself through life and smokes a quarter of his income. But between reporting Bigfoot sightings and UFO abductions, he reports real news if it happens to be sensational enough to grab the attention of people in supermarket checkout lines. Then one day, he reports something that attracts the attention and rage of a group who threatens to derail what remains of his life and career. In desperation, his boss sends him on an obligatory vacation. Lawyers make work difficult, and private investigators track his every move. To make matters worse, his body finally reels from the many years of abuse he’d put it through. Being true to his craft, he figured he’d go after another story. He found one. But while reporting miracles was in his day-to-day life, he’d never found a real one until he stumbled upon a story that forced him to fight for his life. He was determined to find the truth and, along the way, found redemption.

Book Description
An updated edition of the classic history of schizophrenia in America, which gives voice to generations of patients who suffered through "cures" that only deepened their suffering and impaired their hope of recovery Schizophrenics in the United States currently fare worse than patients in the world's poorest countries. In Mad in America, medical journalist Robert Whitaker argues that modern treatments for the severely mentally ill are just old medicine in new bottles, and that we as a society are deeply deluded about their efficacy. The widespread use of lobotomies in the 1920s and 1930s gave way in the 1950s to electroshock and a wave of new drugs. In what is perhaps Whitaker's most damning revelation, Mad in America examines how drug companies in the 1980s and 1990s skewed their studies to prove that new antipsychotic drugs were more effective than the old, while keeping patients in the dark about dangerous side effects. A haunting, deeply compassionate book -- updated with a new introduction and prologue bringing in the latest medical treatments and trends -- Mad in America raises important questions about our obligations to the mad, the meaning of "insanity," and what we value most about the human mind.

Book Description
Reducing residential segregation is the best way to reduce racial inequality in the United States. African American employment rates, earnings, test scores, even longevity all improve sharply as residential integration increases. Yet far too many participants in our policy and political conversations have come to believe that the battle to integrate America’s cities cannot be won. Richard Sander, Yana Kucheva, and Jonathan Zasloff write that the pessimism surrounding desegregation in housing arises from an inadequate understanding of how segregation has evolved and how policy interventions have already set many metropolitan areas on the path to integration. Scholars have debated for decades whether America’s fair housing laws are effective. Moving toward Integration provides the most definitive account to date of how those laws were shaped and implemented and why they had a much larger impact in some parts of the country than others. It uses fresh evidence and better analytic tools to show when factors like exclusionary zoning and income differences between blacks and whites pose substantial obstacles to broad integration, and when they do not. Through its interdisciplinary approach and use of rich new data sources, Moving toward Integration offers the first comprehensive analysis of American housing segregation. It explains why racial segregation has been resilient even in an increasingly diverse and tolerant society, and it demonstrates how public policy can align with demographic trends to achieve broad housing integration within a generation.
