Recenzii
"[Alfalfa to Ivy] is remarkable for its detail and precision. He tells of scores of people he worked with, emphasizing what each brought to the profession. He elaborated on medical mysteries he worked on. He described the complicated political issues that faced him as an administer. His report will be useful for historians as well as medical administrators. This is not a chatty memoir interlaced with cheap shots. It is a work of scholarship and leadership." - J. Daniel Hess October 2011
"Dr. Joseph Martin is one of the most distinguished alumni of the University of Alberta, '62 MD. His leadership and accomplishments are remarkable.... His openness, transparency, honesty, integrity and warmth served him well to achieve what others failed to recognize or thought not possible. He had an uncanny ability to recognize unique opportunities and to maximize the power of effective collaboration.... However, his lasting effect will be the brilliance of his recognition of the new opportunities presented by incredible advances in molecular biology, systems biology, genetics, bioinformatics, etc., and the power of spawning true collaborations between these multiple disciplines.... [A] must-read for leaders in academia dealing with complex institutional relationships so prominent in health care today. I found the book a pleasure to read. My only regret is that I didn't have the opportunity to read it before embarking on my deanship." D. Lorne Tyrrell, Dean Emeritus, University of Alberta Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry Newsletter, 2012, [Full review found at http://bit.ly/yusxJ0]
"Martins deanship has been heralded for unifying a fragmented HMS, improving communication, encouraging collaboration, and diversifying departments, all while leading the School under three very different Harvard presidencies.... Martin stepped down in 2007, after a decadelong tenure highlighted by Martin and his team successfully locating the gene for Huntingtons disease, an extraordinary moment for him." Sarah Sweeney, Harvard Gazette, December 15, 2011
Joseph B. Martin has written a stimulating memoir following a fifty-year career as a major medical researcher and top-flight medical administrator. I am most attracted to his sense of family and identity, his ability to make choices that in the long run gave him the authority so necessary for leadership John A. Lapp, The Mennonite Quarterly Review, Fall 2012
"Joseph B. Martin describes his life from growing up on a farm in Canada to dean of Harvard Medical School. Along the way, readers are provided with in-depth information about his family history, health care, the education system and its politics, and the interesting stories that people tell about their life. Throughout the book, he provides photos for the reader so that he or she may have a visual perspective and understanding of his life story." - Angela Green, University Press Books for Public and Secondary School Libraries 2012, Outstanding Title
"After reading Alfalfa to Ivy, I am inclined to place Joseph Martin in the same pantheon of leaders who have made a difference not only in their medical specialty, but also biomedical science in general.... The author describes his career odyssey with engaging detail.... Though it describes his scientific work in some detail, an overriding theme of this autobiography is leadership.... Like [Judah] Folkman, Joseph Martin raised the gold standard of medical science and leadership, and his autobiography brings us that story in a most down-to-earth, yet memorable style." Dr. Pederson, University of Massachusetts Medical School
The memoir of one of the great minds in the world of academic medicine, Joseph B. Martin, has been released by The University of Alberta Press. Alfalfa to Ivy: Memoir of a Harvard Medical School Dean (www.alfalfatoivy.com), is a beautifully written, intricately researched memoir that details Dr. Martin's journey from rural origins to one of the most highly regarded and influential voices of his generation as Dean of Medicine and Chancellor of the University of California, San Francisco Medical School and later as Dean of Harvard Medical School. As Dean at Harvard, Martin led the efforts to re-design the entire medical school curriculum." Brookline Patch, [Full article at http://bit.ly/vaJqvJ]
"[Dr. Joseph B. Martin] has written a compelling personal history of U.S. academic medicine since the 1970s that honestly confronts many of the controversies and conflicts afflicting our medical system, especially the conflicts of interest between American medicine and the industrial medical complex.... The book is Alfalfa to Ivy and it's well worth a read for any serious student of U.S. health policy." John McDonough, Boston.com, May 20, 2012 [Full article at http://bo.st/MaBW5K]
"The story of Joseph Martin's growing up years (Chapter 1 & 2) is a story that his generation of Mennonite immigrant children identify with.... The thrust of the memoir however focuses comprehensively on the author's career in medical education, research and administration..." Henry M. Dick, Mennonite Historical Society of Alberta Newsletter, June 2010
"In this autobiography [Martin] discusses the radical evolution of medicine in the United States and the roles played by medical research and medical schools." Alberta History
