Alfalfa to Ivy: Memoir of a Harvard Medical School Dean - Now available
"The last forty years have seen seismic changes in the functions and missions of medical research, medicine, and medical schools in the US. There is no book that describes this range of cosmic changes more clearly or dramatically than Joe Martin's excellent memoir: Alfalfa to Ivy. Martin describes the revolution in American medicine first, from a bottom-up view as a participant; but, perhaps even more important, Martin can describe these changes from a top-down view since he has been the leader of academic medicine during this period. In this book we learn about the evolution of modern medicine from one of the people who participated in shaping it and who did so with the attempt not to lose sight of the patient, the physician, and the science that drives it all."
– Dr. Eric Kandel, 2000 Nobel Laureate in Physiology & Medicine
