Review Quotes
Dan Hurley, Founder, Applied History Associates
"Few people provided better insight into early Cincinnati or had more influence in establishing the cultural and educational pillars of our community than Daniel Drake. Philip Diller's creative use of Drake's writings will prompt important conversations about Cincinnati for decades to come."
Amy Bunger, Ph.D, Assistant Designated Institutional Official, UCMC/College of Medicine
“As historian Paul Conklin says, ‘History is a tool we use each generation…to help get along in the world…’ Diller’s display of the work of Daniel Drake reveals prophecy, endurance and wisdom. In a contemporary world of achievement, he sagely forecasts medical education’s need to embody the value of learning, the importance of reflection and mindfulness, well-being, the primacy of accountability though the patient, and the blend of the art and science of medicine.
Robert N. Drake, J.D., retired Managing partner, Reese, Pyle, Drake, and Meyer
“These carefully chosen selections from Dr. Daniel Drake’s extensive writings illustrate the value of his insights for today’s current and future physicians on topics ranging from medical education and practice to civic involvement and personal development. As a member of Dr. Drake’s extended family, I am pleased to see his timeless wisdom made available for future generations.”
