breeding, and production of blueberries throughout all of North
America. In this extensive transcript of the convention which
occurred in Halifax, Nova Scotia, during the summer of 2002 experts
have contributed the most cutting-edge research on the commercial
production of the blueberry, specifically focusing on increasing

New England Hospitals tells of the impact of an institution on a
people. In 1790 few New Englanders had ever seen a hospital. By
1833, when the Worcester State Asylum opened, the institution had
become a New England tradition. The formative years were those when
such men as Horace Mann, the Reverend John Bartlett, John Adams,
John Lowell, Josiah Quincy, and Dr. Eli Todd turned men's thoughts
to the care of the mentally and physically ill. People like the
gentle-mannered Dr. Jackson considered it their duty not merely to
""throw a few pills and powders into one pan of the scales of Fate,
while Death the skeleton was seated in the other, but to lean with
their whole weight on the side of life, and shift the balance in
its favor if it lay in human power to do it."" In this early period
the hospital was, as it is in our time, an institution devoted to
healing the sick, a center of research and teaching, a challenge to
the architect, and the ground of endless financial and
administrative struggle and growth. In this book, Leonard K. Eaton
places this early development of American hospitals in its cultural
perspective.
