Eric Ross Arthur: Conservation in Context, Alec Keefer (editor).
Eric Arthur came from New Zealand to Toronto and changed the face and the spirit of the city. He taught at the School of Architecture; edited and wrote for the Journal of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada; authored many books, chief among them 'Toronto: No Mean City" the definitive history of early Toronto architecture; spurred preservation by founding the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario; spearheaded the international competition for Toronto's new City Hall; designed industrial, institutional, and residential buildings in Toronto and across Canada; and inspired thousands of students, colleagues and citizens. This anthology of free-ranging anecdotal and scholarly essays offers select glimpses into Professor Arthur's always busy life.
