Abstract
Rarely indeed does the opportunity occur to scholars to honour a colleague who is singularly identifiable as the creator of their intellectual disciplines. The authors of papers in these two volumes honouring Walter Isard in his seventieth year have enjoyed that privilige, whether their specialities be Regional Science or Peace Science. Both fields are stamped with the Isardian hallmarks: rigorous technique; multidisciplinary synthesis; creative melding of the theoretical and empirical; international scholarly cooperation; and a fearless, analytical ambition.
