Labyrinths explores the origins of thirteen books I have written in
the past few decades, texts that have helped to define the emerging
parameters of relief operations that inevitably follow armed
conflicts or natural disasters. Widely used in international
training programs, these books provide practical, specific
approaches and solutions-to complex problems in a multidisciplinary
field. But how, and why, and even when certain editorial decisions
were made required a deeper probe, and Labyrinths looks back at the
formative influences of childhood, adolescence, education, and
early professional experiences. Many of the pieces in this volume
predate the Fordham University Press Humanitarian Book series. They
were written in a library in our beach home, overlooking sand dunes
and the Atlantic Ocean, with the rhythmic sound of waves and bird
song as background music. In the quiet isolation of a seaside town
I find respite from a busy life devoted to clinical medicine,
public health, teaching, travel, and a global network of
international humanitarian assistance projects. This book is
dedicated "For the People of Point Lookout," who have respected my
privacy while I develop initiatives that have spread from this tiny
hamlet to reach millions of vulnerable people around the world.
