stands Paul Farmer. Doctor, Harvard Professor, renowned
infectious-disease specialist, anthropologist, the recipient
of a MacArthur "genius" grant, world-class Robin Hood,
Farmer was brought up in a bus and on a boat, and in medical
school found his life's calling: to diagnose and cure
infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of
modern medicine to those who need them most. This book shows
how radical change can be fostered in situations that seem
insurmountable, and it also shows how a meaningful life can
be created, as Farmer - brilliant, charismatic, charming,
both a leader in international health and a doctor who finds
time to make house calls in Boston and the mountains of
Haiti - blasts through convention to get results."--BOOK
