The Library wants to help you join the campus conversation on this year's One Book, One Northwestern [3] selection, Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World.  Our new exhibit "Global Health: Access and Information" (September 7 through October 22, 2010) takes you beyond Tracy Kidder's fascinating look at a doctor who's dedicated his life to serving some of the world's poorest populations.  We're featuring a selection of Dr. Farmer's own books; previous books by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Kidder; and items that highlight the diversity of the Northwestern University Library research collections, including

• The papers of Dr. Quentin Young, a Northwestern Medical School Alumnus and national leader on public health policy and social justice issues
• Rare materials dating back to the eighteenth century documenting efforts to alleviate poverty and disease among the global poor
• Books on global health initiatives in Africa, and
• Books, reports and journals describing emergency transportation and evacuation in the wake of natural disasters

Here's a partial bibliography from Library departments contributing to the exhibit that will help you explore Mountains Beyond Mountains—and our collections.
