Dr. A. Litherland
Affiliation: University of Toronto
Keywords: Accelerator mass spectrometry, quantum physics
Dr. A.E. Litherland has achieved an international reputation as a brilliant nuclear physicist. Since he came to Chalk River from the University of Liverpool in 1953 he has pursued an energetic program of research in low-energy nuclear physics. This has been aimed particularly at elucidating problems of nuclear structure, especially those of collective motion in light nuclei. Possessed of a notable scientific insight he has been quick to recognize those features of nuclear behaviour that distinguish between different theoretical explanations, and to originate and develop experimental techniques for observing them. With his energy and enthusiasm, and his willingness to communicate new ideas, he makes an ideal leader of younger scientists, and is stimulating to all those in contact with him.
Dr. John (Jack) Little
Affiliation: Simon Fraser University
Keywords: 19th Century, society, politics, Canada/Québec, culture
LONG
John Little has applied the micro-historical approach in a variety of groundbreaking revisionist studies, which examine rural society in the transitional era. His themes include nationalism, ethnicity and socio-economic development, political conflict, class and cultural relations, state formation, family, gender identity, religion, and landscape. Little's focus on a single region has made it possible to explore links between historical processes that are generally studied in isolation from each other. He has also brought the Quebec borderland, known as the Eastern Townships, into sharper historical focus while expanding its geographical connections in studies on Scotland and New England.
