Baylor University Medical Center: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow by Lana Henderson. Published by Baylor University Press, Waco, TX, 1978. 1st American Edition. Hardbound w/Paper DJ. Size 8vo. Condition: Fine in Chipped DJ. ISBN 0918954215. LCCN 78-63440. This book is far more than the mere accounting of how a vast $100 million amalgamation of brick, steel, glass, cement and intricate medical apparatus was erected over three quarters of a century. It is primarily a story of people. Although this book is a limited history, it tells a story of unlimited scope. And although it is the story of the development of a single great medical center and second largest church-affiliated hospital complex in America, it is also a penetrating study of a living cross-section of America between the early 1900s and the 1970s, and a graphic count of the march of medicine during those years. Illustrated with black and white photographs. A panoramic view of the medical complex in color on end papers. 336 Pgs. Description text copyright 2005 www.BooksForComfort.com. Item ID 9828.
