Description

Donald Putnam profoundly influenced a generation of geographers, and played a major role in establishing geography as an academic subject in the high schools of Ontario. His publication "The Physiography of Southeastern Ontario" (co-authored by Lyman Chapman) has earned him a place in the history of geography and indeed of earth sciences in Canada. The book chronicles the life of Donald Putnam from his early years in Nova Scotia through is association with the Department of Geography at U of T which spanned more than three decades. The authors have captured in print and photographs the essence of the man fondly remembered by his students as "Putty" The book includes reminiscences from more than thirty of Dr. Putname's former students and colleagues and a list of his published works. The authors of the biography are two of Putnam's former students. Marie (Lustig) Sanderson is currently a research professor with Environment Canada's Adaptation and Impacts Research Group at the U of T. Robert Putnam, Donald's son, is recently retired as Principle of Western Technical Commercial School in Toronto. Back-cover
