Harvey Cushing:
The life of Sir William Osler
Volume 2

William Osler (1849-1919) is widely regarded as one of the most influential physicians of the late 19^th and early 20^th century and a key figure in the history of medicine. Besides his  research activities and his dedicated scientific work, Osler’s greatest contribution to the medical world has been the system of residency which he developed at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore , thus introducing a new and deeply humanistic approach to the strictly scientific realm of traditional medicine. Harvey Cushing (1869-1939), a former student and close friend of Osler’s and a pioneer of neurosurgery, has himself become an icon of modern medicine. 
This monumental biography earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1926
