Retired UPEI professor and past Dean of Science at UPEI (1997-2006), Dr. Roger Gordon, will launch his first book—a memoir entitled Starting to Frame—on Friday, November 14, 6:30pm at The Haviland Club in Charlottetown. Dr. Gordon published a large number of scientific articles on biological control of insects during his academic career at Simon Fraser University, Memorial University, then UPEI. At UPEI, he chaired a research project on developing healthful products from blueberries and rosehips. But, the book that he has penned is a marked departure from his prior scientific endeavors. Starting to Frame speaks to Dr. Gordon's upbringing in post-war Sheffield, UK, and gives the reader insight into many of the stigmas of that era, including marital infidelity, divorce, and mental illness. The darker elements of the author's story are tempered by a nostalgic, informative, and often humorous look into post-WW2 life in a northern England industrial city. In a generous gesture, a portion of the book's royalties will go to charitable organizations dealing with mental illnesses in Canada and the U.K. The book launch will feature a 50-60's theme in music, gastronomy, drinks, and costume. Attendees are invited, if they so wish, to come donned in 1950s–1960s attire. Reception begins at 6:30pm and the official program will begin at 7:00pm. All are welcome. Starting to Frame is available at amazon.com, smashwords.com , via the author’s website: startingtoframe.com, at The Bookmark in Charlottetown (from November 14), and at the launch. To contact Dr. Gordon, email him at rgordon566@gmail.com.
