Mat Edelson Medical writer Mat Edelson (“No Boundaries, No Barriers,” page 38) says that what struck him most about the faculty he interviewed was their dedication and commitment of personal time to their adopted countries. “The only way to overcome suspicion and engender trust about one’s motives is through the creation of long-term relationships,” and Hopkins nursing faculty are doing just that, he says. Edelson’s most recent book, The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen (w/ Chef Rebecca Katz, 2009, Celestial Arts/Random House), was recently voted “Best Health and Special Diet Cookbook” and the “People’s Choice” award as the best American cookbook by the International Association of Culinary Professionals. |
