William E. Harris, a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at McMaster University, is the world’s leading expert in the study of globular star clusters in galaxies. His extensive investigations of the properties of individual globular clusters in our galaxy such as their ages, luminosities, metallicities, and their systemization in a web-based catalogue are among the most exacting and widely used studies in the field. Among the implications of these results for galaxy formation is the fact that metal-poor globular clusters formed at the same time throughout the entire halo of the galaxy. He developed methods at the world’s best telescopes for using globular cluster systems to accurately measure the cosmological distance scale. His vigorous exploration of globular cluster systems in a host of different types of galaxies has opened up an entire field of extragalactic research. This work is having a growing impact on our understanding of stellar populations and galaxy formation.

Jed Harrison has been described as a pioneer in the miniaturization of instrumentation for chemical and biochemical analysis. His lab-on-a-chip concept, developed in 1990, has excited the interest of researchers and industry worldwide. The importance and sophistication of the technology is illustrated in the landmark paper in the journal Science in 1993 titled "Micromachining a Miniaturized Capillary Electrophoresis-Based Chemical Analysis System on a Chip". His work has spawned a new sub-discipline of analytical chemistry called micro total analysis systems ( -TAS) and a new generation of companies worldwide. The journal Analytical Chemistry cited Dr. Harrison's research as one of the "Great Ideas of a Decade".

Long Citation
Jonathan Hart's 1992 book on Shakespeare's history plays, Theater and World, strikingly combined the disciplines of English and history, in each of which he has doctorates. His book on Northrop Frye confirmed his mastery of literary theory. And then in a recent series of three books on the New World, he engages the European colonial enterprise, from early modern times, when England and France followed Spain in the "Scramble for America," to the Spanish-American War. Combining exacting archival research with close literary analysis of documents in several languages, he presents a daring and original vision of the colonization of one continent by another.

Mr. Alain Haurie
Affiliation: Université de Genève

La carrière de M. Alain Haurie est remarquable. Il est devenu professeur à I'Ecole des Hautes Etudes Commerciales de Montréal en 1963. A cette époque, l'enseignement de l'administration accordait une large place à la description du cadre juridique et des institutions, ainsi qu'au transfers des techniques et croyances des administrateurs en exercice. Mathématicien, M. Haurie s'est efforcé d'y introduire une nouvelle dimension. Par son enseignement et ses recherches - qui sont la source de plus d'une centaine de publications - il a persuadé ses collègues et étudiants que les méthodes quantitatives permettent de mieux préparer les décisions et doivent, par conséquent, trouver place dans la formation des administrateurs. Il a « modélisé » des problèmes de grande importance, soient ceux de la gestion des systèmes énergétiques et des établissements de santé. On lui doit la fondation du Groupe d'Etudes et de Recherches en Analyse des Décisions, qui recrute ses collaborateurs dans la plupart des universités et grandes écoles du Québec.
Le travail inlassable de Monsieur Haurie le place parmi ceux qui ont fait progresser les sciences de la gestion et contribué à l'étude de problèmes importants.

As an internationally-respected leader in the crystallography and crystal chemistry of minerals, Dr. Hawthorne has utilized the most advanced physical and chemical analytical methods to characterize the detailed structure of an extreme variety of natural inorganic compounds. By the application of sophisticated mathematical techniques, he has been able to unify the crystal-chemical relationships between nearly all types of non-metallic minerals, and to provide a structurally sound basis for classifying all such minerals. This unified chemical-structural approach has enabled him to lay a fundamental groundwork for interpreting the paragenesis of the minerals in some of the earth's most important rock masses and ore deposits.

Dr. John Hayes is the acknowledged authority on Late Roman pottery and his expert knowledge is eagerly sought by archaeologists working anywhere within the Empire's sphere of influence - from Britain to India, from Central Europe to Ethiopia. As he has gradually refined the picture of ceramic production at various centres throughout the Empire and documented the export of their wares far and wide, the value of such wares has gradually approached the accuracy of coins as a tool for dating in archaeological excavations, and has formed an important source for the writing of ancient economic history.

MICHAEL R. HAYDEN is Professor of Medical Genetics and Internal Medicine, University of British Columbia. Two of his research studies are models of approaches to major human disease: In his studies of Huntington disease, a classic dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder, he was the first to identify brain lesions by positron emission tomography, to find a reliable genetic marker for predictive testing, and to use size of the trinucleotide expansion (the mutation) for accurate diagnosis. He was also the first to identify lipoprotein lipase (LPL) mutations as causes of LPL deficiency, to analyze their distribution in human populations, and to demonstrate their role in atherogenesis.

Brian Hayden has developed and tested hypotheses to explain how complex human social organization emerged in egalitarian societies. He argues that ambitious individuals create multiple strategies to acquire prestige and social power, notably through manipulation of surpluses and possession of arcane knowledge, and that these ambitions transform societies. His fieldwork throughout the world provides an empirical basis for hypotheses that explore the origins of agriculture, the function of religion, and the emergence of social inequality. Controversial and influential, his work has been widely published.
