Blurbs from the Book Display
For the 75th Anniversary celebrations, a book display was created in Robarts Library of faculty and alumni published books. The diversity of titles, spanning a long history, gave a unique perspective on the department and the field of geography. Robert Lewis, Jenny Lass and Jane Macijauskas wrote a series of blurbs summarizing and explaining the significance of selected books from the display. They are presented through the above link for all to read--and as a great way to further an understanding of the department and its influence on the field of geography over the years.
Reflections on the History of Geography at the University of Toronto
Edited by Virginia Maclaren and Gunter Gad
This book celebrates the75th anniversary of the Department of Geography at the University of Toronto. It is not meant to be a complete history of the department but rather a history of selected moments and events. Some of the 16 contributions are based on reminiscences and some are based on archival research and interviews. Some are a bit of both. Chapter authors include current and emeritus professors, current and retired staff, and alumni.
Contributing authors: John Warkentin, Marie Sanderson, Andrew H. Clark, Jacob Spelt, Jock Galloway, Dick Baine, Matthew Farish, Michael Bunce, Thomas McIlwraith, Byron Moldofsky, Joan Winearls, Joe Whitney, Gunter Gad, Jan Masijauskas, Virginia Maclaren
