UBC has announced the 2015 UBC Basil Stuart-Stubbs Book Prize shortlist…
We’re proud to announce that Nancy Turner’s ANCIENT PATHWAYS, ANCESTRAL KNOWLEDGE is a finalist! Congratulations, Nancy!
From the UBC Library website:
The Basil Stuart-Stubbs Prize for Outstanding Scholarly Book on British Columbia was established in memory of Basil Stuart-Stubbs, a bibliophile, scholar and librarian who passed away in 2012. Stuart-Stubbs’s many accomplishments included serving as the University Librarian at UBC Library and as the Director of UBC’s School of Library, Archival and Information Studies. Stuart-Stubbs had a leadership role in many national and regional library and publishing activities. During his exceptional career, he took particular interest in the production and distribution of Canadian books, and was associated with several initiatives beneficial to authors and their readers, and to Canadian publishing.
This annual prize, sponsored by UBC Library and the Pacific BookWorld News Society, recognizes the best scholarly book published by a Canadian author on a B.C. subject.
The winning title will be announced later this spring. More info >
