The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL FUTURE OF HEALTH Lecture Series. Making a welcome Seattle return this evening is Dr. Atul Gawande—critically acclaimed author, Harvard Medical School professor, New Yorker staff writer, and general surgeon at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. He follows his much-praised, bestselling earlier books, Complications and Better, with his newest, The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right (Metropolitan). This is a book in which the seeming simple—the checklist—is shown to play a pivotal role in numerous medical instances and proceedings. He actually ranges beyond, to other fields—construction, banking, and more. Sounds like a good one for beginning the year on a more sure-footed note, in whatever area of endeavor. "Gawande manages to capture medicine in all of its complex and chaotic glory, and to put it, still squirming with life, on the page. With this book [Better], Gawande inspires all of us, doctor or not, to be better." - The New York Times Book Review. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m., or in advance at www.brownpapertickets.com (or 1-800-838-3006). Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. For more information, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, Town Hall at (206) 652-4255, or see www.townhallseattle.org.
