It's Beshert: The Life and Legacy of Dr. Jay A. Levy (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798992688887)

It's Beshert is a biography of Dr. Jay A. Levy, a former professor of medicine at UC San Francisco. His pathbreaking insights into the fundamentals of HIV/AIDS deepened public understanding of the condition and helped save lives. The book captures the diversity of Levy's life, including his upbringing in Wilmington, Delaware; the research obstacles he encountered at UCSF in the 1980s; and his extensive travels (and rich experiences) throughout the world. Levy is a strong believer in beshert - a Yiddish word for "destiny" or "fate" - and the concept is woven into his inspiring life story.
