It must certainly have required a strong nerve to undertake this escapade.\" -British Mail, 1876 Fifteen years before Nellie Bly's famous investigation, Ten Days in a Mad-House (also available from Cosimo Classics), muckraking journalist Julius Chambers led the way in exposing abuse in the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum in A Mad World and Its Inhabitants (1876). Thanks to his reports on the ten days he lived among the inmates, a dozen sane patients were freed, an asylum reorganization was forced, and there was a change in the laws that governed the management. This book is considered a landmark in the field of investigative journalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julius Chambers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646798902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646798902\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cosimo Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/1905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.53d","brand":"Julius Chambers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46907458486527,"sku":"9781646798902","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f14d701e-9bf0-403c-8d84-7fb800e01d30.jpg?v=1748773390","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-mad-world-and-its-julius-chambers-9781646798902","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
