The story of the founding of the British Nepal Medical Trust. Dr John Cunningham served as a ship¿s doctor and then four and half years in hospital service. He and his wife Penny both shared a love of adventure and a desire to use their training where it was urgently needed. Nepal, they learned, had only 200 doctors for its eleven million people. They contacted the Director of Health Services in Kathmandu offering their services with a team of doctors and nurses which was promptly accepted. After he made a preliminary investigation in Nepal a team of colleagues was recruited and pharmaceutical and other companies approached for their support. In April 1968 the team of six doctors, four nurses and a young mechanic set off for Nepal in three Land Rovers to undertake the 8000 mile journey to Nepal. The Government of Nepal had asked them to set up their base at Biratnagar. In the first six months they had started the modernisation and improvement of the hospital. The work then extended into the hills and to remote areas of the country in a battle against tuberculosis. By 1972 72% of the 250,000 children under the age of 18 in the Kosi province, an area of 3000 square miles of difficult terrain, had been BCG vaccinated. Even after his return to the UK, while working as a GP, he continued his support for the work continuing in Nepal by acting as a Trustee and Chairman of BNMT until his death in 1990.

About this book Among the important art museums and galleries in the United States, the Art Institute of Chicago, founded in 1879, is one of the most distinguished. Though many art-lovers are aware that it houses Seurat's tantalizing masterpiece A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte and El Greco's Assumption (the master's first great Spanish commission), the full variety and quality of the Institute's contents are by no means widely familiar, except among experts. Dr Maxon's book describes and illustrates this great collection, which ranges from early Italian and Flemish paintings to Kandinsky and Picasso; from ancient Greek sculpture to textiles and the decorative arts. The Institute contains magnificent examples of the work of the French impressionists, including Renoir's On the Terrace (perhaps the most popular painting in the Institute), and of the post-impressionists, together with the work of many other great artists: Botticelli, Tiepolo, Poussin, David, Rembrandt, Rubens, Velazquez, Turner. The prints and drawings include a fine group of French eighteenth- and nineteenth-century drawings and some of the world's most important prints, among them the only print by Brueghel executed by his own hand, and the Frugal Repast, the most famous print of Picasso's Blue Period. The Institute is also rich in examples of oriental art, many of which are described, including masterpieces from the Clarence Buckingham collection of Japanese prints and an extraordinarily impressive group of ancient Chinese ritual bronzes. John Maxon, who is an Associate Director of the Institute, traces its history, introduces its contents and provides full commentaries on the illustrations. The Director of the Institute, Charles C. Cunningham, has written the foreword. John Maxon, born in Salt Lake City in 1916, was educated at the University of Michigan, where he received his Bachelor's degree. He gained his Master's degree and Doctorate of Philosophy in the history of art from Harvard University. He has been Director of the Museum of Art at the University of Kansas, and Director of the Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design, and is now Associate Director of the Art Institute of Chicago. Dr Maxon is a specialist in the history of sixteenth-century Venetian painting, and has also worked in the fields of American architecture and Indian Buddhist sculpture.
