Mark R. Finlay, 15 September 1960- 6 October 2013

摘要

Mark Finlay was an excellent teacher, scholar, and friend. He died unexpectedly on 6 October 2013 while returning home to Savannah, Georgia, from a research trip in North Carolina. T&C readers who did not know Mark personally certainly know his 2009 book Growing American Rubber: Strategic Plants and the Politics of National Security, for which he won the Agricultural History Society's Theodore Saloutos Memorial Prize for the best book on agricultural history published that year. Growing American Rubber demonstrated Mark at his scholarly best: prodigious research and attention to detail without losing sight of the big story.
