Abstract

The untimely loss of Rodney Rooke, a dear friend and close collaborator of 40 years, at the age of 66, came as a shock to all of us at the Athens Center of Ekistics and to the world network of people associated with the overall ekistics movement. Since he joined the ACE as Chief Reference Librarian in1966, Rodney was always appreciated as a specially gifted human being and a vital pillar in the variety of efforts undertaken by the ACE.
