Paul Farmer was born in West Adams, in Western Massachusetts, the second of six children.

DENTON A. COOLEY, M.D. As late as the 1940s, it was considered impossible to operate on the heart of a living patient. The tremendous advances made in cardiovascular surgery since that time are the work of many great physicians, but in this history, a few great names stick out, including those of Dr. Denton Cooley and Dr. Michael DeBakey. While still an intern, Dr. Cooley participated in the first "blue babyDAVID DOUBILET
David Doubilet fell in love with the undersea world as a child. At age 12, he wrapped a Brownie camera in a plastic bag to take his first underwater pictures. In addition to contributing photographs and columns to a host of travel, nature, and diving magazines — including over 70 stories in National Geographic — he has published half a dozen books of his astonishing images.DERECK JOUBERT
Dereck and Beverly Joubert have spent the last 25 years living among nature's most fearsome predators. From their camp in Botswana, hours from the nearest village, they record the social behavior and hunting practices of lions, cheetahs, and leopards, the most endangered — and dangerous — creatures on Earth.
