Biografía del autor:
For six months in 1967, from late April until the end of October, Canada and its world’s fair, Expo 67, became the focus of national and international attention in a way the country and its people had rarely experienced. Expo 67, staged in Montreal, crystallized the buoyant sense of confidence many felt during Canada’s centennial. And it’s clear that for many Canadians it became a touchstone, a popular event that penetrated the collective psyche.
John Lownsbrough takes a fresh and engaging look at Expo and at the social and political contexts in which it occurred. From stories about the physical setting which signified major technological and engineering feats to the people, both famous and not, who helped make Expo 67 memorable, The Best Place to Be is a terrific chronicle of a high point in Canada’s history.
John Lownsbrough is an award-winning journalist whose work over the years has appeared in Toronto Life, Saturday Night, Maclean’s, Report on Business Magazine, Chatelaine, The Globe and Mail , and the Literary Review of Canada . His social history The Privileged Few: The Grange and its People in Nineteenth Century Toronto was nominated for the City of Toronto Book Award .
