Lingappa and his wife, Yamuna Lingappa, are the co-authors of Wholesome Nutrition For Mind, Body and Microflora: The Goal of Lacto-Vegetarianism (Ecobiology Foundation International, 1992), a book that interprets a century of scientific work on human nutrition from a novel, holistic, evolutionary perspective.

The book includes samples of Udipi cuisine, a vegetarian fare of great antiquity. B.T. Lingappa and Yamuna Lingappa have published articles in international scientific journals and have taught courses in human nutrition. The Lingappas have two sons and a daughter and reside in Worcester, Mass.

		The Ethics of the Ordinary in Healthcare by John Abbott Worthley '66 John Abbott Worthley '66 is the author of The Ethics of the Ordinary in Healthcare (Health Administration Press, 1997) which focuses on the everyday ethical dilemmas encountered by healthcare executives.

Worthley designed the book to be descriptive, rather than prescriptive, of the reality of power, values, and control in the daily routine of healthcare management and delivery. The author of six books and several articles on various aspects of public service management and policy, Worthley is internationally active in the field of professional ethics. He has done consulting work for hospitals, state and local government health departments, and home care agencies, and health-related corporations.
