Among his books were "The Office of Lieutenant-Governor: A Study in Canadian Government and Politics," which won the Delancey K. Jay Prize at Harvard University. "Just Call Me Mitch: The Life of Mitchell F. Hepburn," published in 1991, won the Floyd Chalmers Award for the best book on Ontario history. His 2002 study of the Supreme Court of Canada, titled "The Lawmakers: Judicial Power and the Shaping of Canadian Federalism," won the John W.

Famous quotes containing the words work and/or historian:
“It is ultimately in employers’ best interests to have their employees’ families functioning smoothly. In the long run, children who misbehave because they are inadequately supervised or marital partners who disapprove of their spouse’s work situation are productivity problems. Just as work affects parents and children, parents and children affect the workplace by influencing the employed parents’ morale, absenteeism, and productivity.”
—Ann C. Crouter (20th century)
“Sir Joshua would have been glad to take her portrait; and he would have had an easier task than the historian at least in this, that he would not have had to represent the truth of change—only to give stability to one beautiful moment.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
