A propos de cet article

BG4 - A first edition (stated) hardcover book SIGNED and inscribed by William Henry Kellar to previous owner on the half-title page in very good condition in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. Foreword by George H.W. Bush & James A. Baker III. The story behind the bequest that built thw world's largest medical center. 9.5"x6.25", 248 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. At the heart of Houston stands the Texas Medical Center. This dense complex of educational, clinical, and hospital facilities offers state-of-the-art patient care, basic science, and applied research in more than fifty medicine-related institutions. Sheikhs and European royalty share the hallways of its fifteen hospitals with ordinary citizens from around the world. Three medical schools, four schools of nursing, and schools of dentistry, public health, and pharmacology occupy the thousand-acre campus. But none of this would exist if not for the generosity and vision of Monroe Dunaway Anderson, who, in 1936, established the foundation that bears his name. The M. D. Anderson Foundation ultimately became the driving force behind creating and shaping this leading-edge medical complex into what it is today. Enduring Legacy: The M. D. Anderson Foundation and the Texas Medical Center provides a unique perspective on the indispensable role the foundation played in the creation of the Texas Medical Center. It also offers a case study of how public and private institutions worked together to create this veritable city of health that has since become the largest medical complex in human history. Historian William Henry Kellar caps off a decade of research on institutions and characters associated with the Texas Medical Center, drawing on oral histories, extensive archival work, and a growing secondary literature to provide a full-bodied and absorbing account of this leading institution of modern medicine and the philanthropy that made it possible. Anyone with an interest in the history of Houston, the Texas Medical Center, or the M.D. Anderson Foundation will find this book a treasure trove of information. A fitting tribute to M.D. Anderson, the foundation's leaders and trustees, and the incalculable wealth of resources provided by the Texas Medical Center, Enduring Legacy: The M.D. Anderson Foundation and the Texas Medical Center isa rich narrative of bold vision, compassion, and determination. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…
