The human story of Joseph Martin's journey from rural origins to highly regarded leader makes Alfalfa to Ivy a compelling read. His deep-seated Mennonite values guided him with humility and optimism through tumultuous changes in modern medicine-changes that he helped guide while serving as Dean of Medicine and Chancellor of the University of California, San Francisco Medical School and, later, Dean of Harvard Medical School. His in-depth experience leaves Martin perfectly poised to evaluate academic politics and health care in Canada and in the United States. "This book is a must read for anyone interested in the radical evolution of medicine in the United States that began in the second half of the twentieth century." -Dr. Eric Kandel, 2000 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine "Joe Martin's career confronted all the major issues of medicine and health care. He experienced the glories of research, the complexities of institutional relationships, the unsustainable health care system, and the strain of political pressures." -John Dirks, President and Scientific Director, The Gairdner Foundation Joseph B. Martin grew up near the village of Duchess, Alberta. He received his MD from the University of Alberta in 1962. He served for ten years as the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard University before stepping down in 2007. Joseph Martin is currently the Edward R. and Anne G. Lefler Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School.
The memoir of one of the great minds in the world of academic medicine, Joseph B. Martin, has been released by The University of Alberta Press. Alfalfa to Ivy: Memoir of a Harvard Medical School Dean (www.alfalfatoivy.com), is a beautifully written, intricately researched memoir that details Dr. Martin's journey from rural origins to one of the most highly regarded and influential voices of his generation as Dean of Medicine and Chancellor of the University of California, San Francisco Medical School and later as Dean of Harvard Medical School. As Dean at Harvard, Martin led the efforts to re-design the entire medical school curriculum." Brookline Patch, [Full article at http://bit.ly/vaJqvJ]
"Martin's deanship has been heralded for unifying a fragmented HMS, improving communication, encouraging collaboration, and diversifying departments, all while leading the School under three very different Harvard presidencies.... Martin stepped down in 2007, after a decade-long tenure highlighted by Martin and his team successfully locating the gene for Huntington's disease, an extraordinary moment for him." Sarah Sweeney, Harvard Gazette, December 15, 2011
"In this autobiography [Martin] discusses the radical evolution of medicine in the United States and the roles played by medical research and medical schools." Alberta History

The book is Alfalfa to Ivy and it's well worth a read for any serious student of U.S. health policy." John McDonough, Boston.com, May 20, 2012 [Full article at http://bo.st/MaBW5K]

The thrust of the memoir however focuses comprehensively on the author's career in medical education, research and administration..." Henry M. Dick, Mennonite Historical Society of Alberta Newsletter, June 2010
"Joseph B. Martin has written a stimulating memoir following a fifty-year career as a major medical researcher and top-flight medical administrator..

Lapp, The Mennonite Quarterly Review, Fall 2012

Throughout the book, he provides photos for the reader so that he or she may have a visual perspective and understanding of his life story." Angela Green, University Press Books for Public and Secondary School Libraries 2012, Outstanding Title
"After reading Alfalfa to Ivy, I am inclined to place Joseph Martin in the same pantheon of leaders who have made a difference not only in their medical specialty, but also biomedical science in general.... The author describes his career odyssey with engaging detail.... Though it describes his scientific work in some detail, an overriding theme of this autobiography is leadership.... Like [Judah] Folkman, Joseph Martin raised the gold standard of medical science and leadership, and his autobiography brings us that story in a most down-to-earth, yet memorable style."
