Reviews / Votes

"David Hamburg is one of the world's great humanitarians. In this eloquently written memoir, David reflects on his wide-ranging contributions in many fields, all aimed at the goal of the world's people living together 'amicably and fruitfully.' Read this volume and you will be uplifted by the amazing life story of an amazing man."
-The Honorable Lee H. Hamilton, Director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University and former US Representative (D-IN)

"David Hamburg is a remarkable man and a true citizen of the world. Throughout his career, he has shaped some of today's most important programs and institutions in medicine and has always insisted that physicians and others in the healing professions have a special responsibility to play a role in the larger society. His path of preventing conflict at the personal, community, and global levels serves as a model for all of us in advancing changes that improve the health of all people."
-Jo Ivey Boufford, President, New York Academy of Medicine

"David Hamburg's book is more than a biography, it is an analysis of the foci of modern political science and economics as they seek to take into account the findings of primate biology and developments in the wild. Nothing short of an institutional coming together of Great Powers abetted and assisted by others will bring the peace that the world richly deserves but has not yet attained. A wonderful book."

"If you want to visit with a man who has actually made the world a better place, I urge you to spend a few hours with David Alan Hamburg's A Model of Prevention: Life Lesson."
