ReviewsThe publication of this book is timely. It would make a perfect gift for a medical or biology graduate, but it would be inspiring to anyone who reads it. His speeches make one feel empowered _ to make a difference, to contribute to health policy, to accompany another who is struggling. In the speeches collected in To Repair the World , Dr. Farmer teaches us crucial lessons that we must all learn from, as scientists, as doctors, and as human beings., [Farmer] offers an anthology of 19 speeches on global health initiatives delivered between 2001 and 2012. . . .[from which ] readers will emerge with a heightened sense of the responsibilities and sacrifices required of future public servants.
