Description
Book SynopsisThe inspiring biography of Donald Seldin, the physician, scientist, and academic leader who transformed the ramshackle Southwestern Medical College into a powerhouse of scientific research and patient care.
Trade ReviewA splendid biography of a man who became highly influential in medical education...Raymond Greenberg’s biography of Donald Seldin provides much evidence that the term 'maestro' in the book’s subtitle is well-deserved. * Southwestern Historical Quarterly *
