Peterborough & The Kawartha's

Earlier today I had the chance to meet a man that most folks from the area are, I'm sure, already very familiar with. Being (kind of) new to the area I was happy to finally meet former member of parliment and Trent University professor Peter Adams this morning. Peter was at Titles in downtown Peterborough this morning prepping for the launch of the 3rd edition of "Peterborough and the Kawarthas," the popular text edited by himself and Colin Taylor. I managed to score a copy of this book last week and I was blown away by the amount of info offered for a low $30 price tag. As a meteorology student I am used to paying more than $200 (in some cases) for a single text book and this book offers just as much information. Enjoy the full colour pictures, charts and graphs all beautifully laid out and easy to read. Having only lived in the region since February, this book is a great tool for understanding this beautiful region. From geology and climatology to urban planning, this book packs a lot of information between the covers. Oh...and you'll also be supporting an annual award that helps students entering their fourth year in the Trent geography program. Be sure to join Peter and Colin tomorrow at Titles on George Street at 7pm and the following day at Chapters for a book signing. The book is also available at the Canadian Canoe Museum, the Hutchison House and at various book stores across the city.
