Updated with bonus material, including a new foreword and afterword with new research, this New York Times bestseller is essential reading for a time when mental health is constantly in the news. In this astonishing and startling book, award-winning science and history writer Robert Whitaker investigates a medical mystery: Why has the number of disabled mentally ill in the United States tripled over the past two decades? Interwoven with Whitaker’s groundbreaking analysis of the merits of psychiatric medications are the personal stories of children and adults swept up in this epidemic. As Anatomy of an Epidemic reveals, other societies have begun to alter their use of psychiatric medications and are now reporting much improved outcomes . . . so why can’t such change happen here in the United States? Why have the results from these long-term studies—all of which point to the same startling conclusion—been kept from the public? Our nation has been hit by an epidemic of disabling mental illness, and yet, as Anatomy of an Epidemic reveals, the medical blueprints for curbing that epidemic have already been drawn up. Praise for Anatomy of an Epidemic “The timing of Robert Whitaker’s Anatomy of an Epidemic, a comprehensive and highly readable history of psychiatry in the United States, couldn’t be better.”—Salon “Anatomy of an Epidemic offers some answers, charting controversial ground with mystery-novel pacing.”—TIME “Lucid, pointed and important, Anatomy of an Epidemic should be required reading for anyone considering extended use of psychiatric medicine. Whitaker is at the height of his powers.” —Greg Critser, author of Generation Rx

Environmental Change in the Lake Tahoe Basin
by Robert N. Coats, Sudeep Chandra, Alan Heyvaert, Charles R. Goldman, S. Geoffrey Schladow
2025 · University of Nevada Press
The Lake Tahoe Basin is both a natural treasure and a complex case study in environmental management. Environmental Change in the Lake Tahoe Basin offers a comprehensive assessment of the region’s environmental history, current conditions, and future challenges, providing lessons in how science-based policies can drive effective stewardship in high-value, high-conflict landscapes. For over a century, scientific research and management efforts have aimed to mitigate the impacts of logging, mining, pollution, and invasive species while balancing urban development, tourism, and ecological preservation on the Lake. The book explores these challenges through a multidisciplinary lens, integrating environmental science, policy analysis, and case studies of both successful and failed management strategies. Written by experts who have played direct roles in key scientific discoveries and policy decisions, the book also examines the influence of environmental organizations and litigation in shaping conservation efforts. At its core, the authors argue that the Tahoe Basin serves as a model for science-driven land and water stewardship. The book evaluates long-term monitoring programs, offering actionable recommendations for improving environmental oversight and resource management. Combining scientific analysis with accessible language, Environmental Change in the Lake Tahoe Basin serves as an up-to-date review of the region’s environmental challenges, providing an essential guide for scientists, resource managers, and policymakers.
