Physician: The Life of Paul Beeson

Without trying to record every aspect of his life, neurosurgeon and frequent writer Rapport describes the life of Beeson (b. 1908), whom he characterizes as a good, dedicated, and fortunate man who exemplified the academic physician. He begins in 1898, when Beeson's father entered medical school, and continues to his interest in gerontology in the late 1990s. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
