iUniverse From Chak 29 to Dinkytown A Memoir 2018 Edition by Faiz Khan
Professor Faiz M. Khan is a world-renowned medical physicist. He has a passion for delving into cosmology, evolution, and life philosophies. In this book, he recounts his childhood and early education in a small village in Pakistan, his college days in the ancient cities of Multan and Lahore, and his pursuit of getting the highest academic degree that his father had predicted when he was a child. He fulfilled that prediction by receiving his PhD from the University of Minnesota. Later, his sheer determination to excel in his academic career earned him the highest award from the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, namely the William D. Coolidge Gold Medal. In this book, Professor Khan writes the story of his life. It is his account of both the how and the why of living. From the trajectory of his life, one can surmise that simple beginnings are not a handicap in life.
