Autorenporträt

E. Michael Van Buskirk, born in Lafayette, Indiana in 1941, received bachelor and master degrees from Harvard University and a Doctor of Medicine from Boston University in 1968. Dr. Van Buskirk retired in 2004 from a distinguished academic career in ophthalmology with some 200 publications including four books about glaucoma. He founded and edited the Journal of Glaucoma. Among Dr. Van Buskirk's numerous awards and honorary lectureships over five continents were the Fankhouser Medal from the University of Basel and that of Distinguished Alumnus from the Department of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical School. His first non-medical book was a genealogically oriented tale of Van Buskirks in the settlement of North America. Daughter, Doctor, Resurrectionist, the author's second book written for a general readership, also finds its roots in family lore.
