Drawing upon an extensive collection of private papers, the author brings to life the colourful story of Taylor, Canada's premier geographer. He founded Canada's first Department of Geography at the University of Toronto, and Australia's first Geography Department at Sydney University. Taylor also had the distinction of being chief geologist on Scott's historic 1910-1912 Antarctic Expedition.
