I often distribute a book to inspire dental students towards research careers or at least careers that combine rigorous scholarship along with practice and teaching. First it was Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis. This is a wonderful story of a young Midwesterner drawn to science and medicine through a local doctor and then by a professor of microbiology in medical school. The professor’s love of science is pure; in an environment where many students and faculty think only of money, he alone seems to have ideals. Next, I distributed In Search of Memory, the Emergence of a New Science of Mind, by Eric Kandel—a deft mixture of memoir and history, modern biology, and behavior. In Search of Memory traces how a brilliant scientist’s intellectual journey intersected with one of the great scientific endeavors of the twentieth century: the search for the biological basis of memory.

This well-written, very readable book reminds us all that we stand on the shoulders of giants, and Dr. Hal Slavkin is one of them. I have a new book to distribute.
