Publishing for the sake of publishing!.......2003-08-11

Very poor piece of work;even for what I call an "edited book".
Most quotations have nothing to do with the concept [title]of excellence.There is no rational order,theme,chronology,reason for selected quotes or even an index.For instance;if one wanted to see what J.C.Adams had to say about EXCELLENCE,you'd have to thumb through the book page by page till you come to page 42 where you find "Duty is ours;results are God,s.".What's this got to do with excellence,or even inspiration as suggested on the cover? If these quotes had been thrown together in an evening by a school student ;the effort would recieve only mediocre marks.So,how did it ever get published?I guess what it takes is being vice president of the publishing company.Generally speaking I find "edited books " are poor efforts;but this one takes the prize!

Book Description

The Author was born in the little town of Rahbeh in North Lebanon. He was the youngest of four boys. The family lived in a one room house, with no amenities, no kitchen or bathroom. They lived off the land, a limited bit of land. He and his brothers worked hard to keep the farm up and running. Life in Rahbeh in those days was primitive and simple, reminiscent of biblical times.

The author's father who had been in the USA for some years as a youngster came to appreciate the importance of higher education having himself been only to elementary school. Thus the father's life mission was to secure the best possible educational opportunities for his children; this was not an easy task, not in Lebanon in the 1930s and 1940s. To accomplish that he made the remarkable decision to travel to the west coast of Africa where he spent 11 years away from his family. He would send money home to the mother who's job among her many responsibilities, was to make certain the children were applying themselves at school.

The author completed elementary education at the age of 11, but because of insufficient funds was delayed one year before going to high school. He graduated from high school at age 16 and enrolled as a freshmen in college at the American University of Beirut (AUB). His father's dream was to see his son as a doctor. He thus was determined that his son study medicine. " I have never doubted that he made the right decision for me" the author states.

He graduated from the AUB school of medicine in June 54. During internship he applied and was accepted to work for an oil company. However it was the sincere praise of a single man that not only changed his plan but essentially charted his entire career path. He came to the United States in 1956 to study hematology at Washington University in St. Louis. It was here that Dr. Yunis fell in love with medical research and launched his career as a physician-scientist. Once down that path he discovered an inner drive to succeed and an incomparable passion for his work and the research mission.

This book is Dr. Yunis's way of revisiting the highlights of his career and his research accomplishments. It is also the story of how the author moved from a great institution to a young medical school promising a wealth of challenges and the potential for academic excellence.

Instead he became closely involved in a struggle between two agendas, an agenda for academic excellence against, what in his opinion, was an agenda for a health care supermarket. Because of poor misguided leadership at the top, a center for academic excellence was not realized. Nevertheless, Dr. Yunis could never be swayed from his pursuit of excellence always recognizing that "our mission as physician-scientists is to constantly generate new knowledge through research for the betterment of the quality of human life and to reproduce ourselves always creating new generations of physician-scientists to carry the torch. It is this noble mission and its execution that distinguishes great medical schools from the average ones."

Academic excellence will not thrive at medical centers designed as health care supermarkets. Because such centers place more value on clinical practice and the generation of income they often become graveyards for fledgling academicians. Resources alone, no matter how abundant, will not make a medical school great. It is the leadership at the top; an educated leadership totally committed to academic excellence as reflected by selecting the brightest students and recruiting and retaining faculty academicians of the highest quality.

In this book, the author also touches on a number of topics along with his views. These include : life in the United States, our moral values and how they have changed over the past fifty years; our failed foreign policy and the anti-American sentiment in the Middle East; our war on terrorism; the war in Iraq and the quagmire we have put ourselves into; U.S. foreign aid; the unhealthy status of our health care system; illegal immigration and the insecurity at our borders and other topics.

Customer Reviews:

Beautifully documents buildings of the turn-of-the-century.......2001-11-18

This is an excellent treatment of New York architecture, 1890-1915, divided into chapters by building type. It's substantially thinner than Robert Stern's other books in this series (New York 1880, New York 1930, New York 1960), but there's enough meat here that the reader feels the topic has been fully covered. The book has a particularly attractive page format, with numerous photos that beautifully document the era (averaging approximately one per page). There are also roughly 60 floor plans, although most page space is used for text.

The original and the still the best!.......2000-01-04

This is a groundbreaking work that unearthed the contemporaneous understanding of events that, because of the advent of modernism, was never recorded in books. It has paved the way for more specialized studies, but its breadth of learning and expertise has never been surpassed.

Indispensable........1999-08-09

The twentieth-century items by which New York City is usually synechdocally identified, the Empire State Building, the World Trade Center and what have you, are arguably just later iconic ornaments set atop the massive base formed during the earlier period covered in this book. The character New York has today was really in good part formed by the turn of the last century, by the structures and systems here presented. Gimlet-eyed Robert Stern and his apparently omnivorous assistants, Gilmartin and Massengale, have sorted, digested and made available enormous amounts of information. _New York 1900_ is an indispensable starting point for architects, historians, preservationists and others serious about understanding the City of the era.

Flat and uninspiring history of a great city........1999-05-19

The book attempts to be more that an architectural history and fails miserably. They tried to use architecture as a way of intertwining the political and social history of the city. Needless to say, this type of scope is best in the capable hands of Robert Caro. In addition to the wooden text, the photographs, while rare, are uninspiring. The publisher produced a well-bounded book, so the most useful place for it would be on a coffee table.

invaluable for anyone interesting in NYC architecture.......1998-07-19

This work (the first in a projected pentology on New York architecture in 1876, 1900, 1930, 1960 and 2000) is a dead-on account of NYC high-style architecture from 1890-1915. A must have.

The epic architectural!.......2007-01-26

The architectural constructions and superb designs are a constant challenge for every raising generation. If Gaudi is to Barcelona an always reminded icon, Le Cotrbusier occupies a special place for the French citizens, Frank Lloyd Wright joins this special pantheon of creative minds who faced with audacious bravery the task to build ambiances destined not only to embellish the urban environment but confer it of refined personality and impress its own feature for the generations to come.

Among countless texts that have illustrated the astonishing and majestic development of United States, no other book has immersed with such profundity in what concerns the process to link the early settlements to modern times. Written, depicted and supported lavishly, you will be engaged from the first page till the end. His reading is not only absorbing but admirably rich in details that justify plainly your inversion.

Time For A New Edition.......2000-05-09

Miles Berger's magnum opus is one of those resources the serious scholar of Chicago history cannot do without. Alas, its out of print, and at the least should be be reprinted in paperback form. Hopefully, Mr. Berger will add a few new chapters in time for the 2nd edition to coincide with the Richard J. Daley Centennial in 2002.

Book Description

Why do cities look the way they do? In this fascinating exploration of the strikingly different landscapes of Boston and New York, Mona Domosh cites historical, social, and economic reasons for the shaping of each city in the nineteenth century. She contrasts Boston`s domestic landscape of parks and residences with New York`s expansive retail and financial buildings, showing how these reflect the beliefs, fears, and values of the individuals and groups who lived there.
