University of Toronto Press extends its condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of the two UTP authors who sadly passed away during the month of July. Ramsay Cook passed on July 14th, 2016. We published the second edition of Cook’s title The Regenerators: Social Criticism in Late Victorian English Canada this past May. Orest Subtelny passed on July 24th, 2016. The fourth edition of his title Ukraine: A History was published in 2009. Both authors were renowned historians and will be missed.
