The Big Wild Soul of Terrence Cole
An Eclectic Collection to Honor Alaska’s Public Historian
Edited by Frank Soos and Mary Ehrlander
University of Alaska Press
This collection of essays honors beloved Alaska historian Terrence Cole upon his retirement. Contributors include former students and colleagues whose personal and professional lives he has touched deeply. The pieces range from appreciative reflections on Cole’s contributions in teaching, research, and service, to topics he encouraged his students to pursue, plus pieces he inspired directly or indirectly. It is an eclectic collection that spans the humanities and social sciences, each capturing aspects of the human experience in Alaska’s vast and variable landscape. Together the essays offer readers complementary perspectives that will delight Cole’s many fans—and gain him new ones.
The Big Wild Soul of Terrence Cole is the perfect title for this book....a scholarly tribute...that is heavily laden with love and humor.
The wide range of approaches is not only a tribute to Terrence Cole for his services to Alaska as an educator but benefit those seeking new avenues of thought about Alaska.
