    A fast-paced account of a giant of twentieth century medicine, First the Patient details how David Nathan saved patients with his medical skill and rescued institutions with his visionary leadership. 
     
     
     
    The miraculous triumphs of modern medicine—antibiotics, insulin, cancer cures, longer and better lives—are the fruits of its firm grounding in science. But too often, the healing touch, the empathy of a physician for the patient, and the art of medicine, can be neglected in pursuit of breakthroughs. 
     
     
     
    David Nathan never accepted that bargain. A brilliant hematologist thoroughly steeped in scientific rigor with a research track record to prove it, Nathan was above all a humanist, a caring physician who never failed to put the patient first even when that patient was his research subject. This same humanism, along with the profound psychological insights it affords, propelled Nathan to the top ranks of academic leadership. He served first at Boston Children's Hospital, then at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute where, as president, he rescued a hospital on the brink of extinction after its doctors administered a fatal chemotherapy overdose. First the Patient is the story of a physician who left an indelible imprint on medicine through his relentless focus on the patient.

    Agrostology, the scientific study of grasses, is a crucial field of botany that explores the diversity, structure, and ecological significance of grasses. Grasses belong to the Poaceae family, one of the largest and most economically important plant families in the world. These plants play a foundational role in ecosystems, agriculture, and human civilization. From the vast prairies and savannas to the rice and wheat fields that sustain billions of people, grasses shape the landscapes of both natural and human-altered environments. 
    The study of grasses has a long history, dating back to early agricultural societies that first domesticated cereal crops. The ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China relied on grasses such as wheat, barley, and rice to establish permanent settlements. Over time, the understanding of grass physiology, reproduction, and ecological functions deepened, leading to advancements in agronomy, ecology, and land management. By the 19th and 20th centuries, agrostology emerged as a specialized discipline within botany, focusing on grass classification, physiology, and ecosystem dynamics. 
    Grasses are uniquely adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions. They thrive in temperate, tropical, and even arid climates, displaying remarkable resilience through specialized growth mechanisms. Their ability to reproduce through both seeds and vegetative propagation allows them to colonize and dominate various habitats. Many grass species employ C4 photosynthesis, an efficient metabolic pathway that enables them to survive in hot, dry environments. This adaptability makes grasses a dominant plant group in many ecosystems, providing habitat and food for numerous animal species.
