    Neil Robert Smith (18 June 1954 – 29 September 2012) was a Scottish geographer and academic. He was Distinguished Professor of Anthropology and Geography at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

    Background

    Smith was born in 1954 in Leith, Scotland. He was one of four children of a schoolteacher and his wife, and spent most of his childhood in Dalkeith, southeast of Edinburgh. He attended King's Park Primary School and Dalkeith High School.

    Smith earned his 1st class BSc from the University of St. Andrews in 1977 (with a year at the University of Pennsylvania, 1974–1975), and his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1982, where his advisor was noted Marxist geographer David Harvey. He took up a tenure-track position at Columbia University in New York (1982–1986), but Columbia closed its Geography Department and he moved to Rutgers University in New Jersey (1986–2000). At Rutgers he was Chair of the Geography Department (1991–94) and a senior fellow at the Center for the Critical Analysis of Contemporary Culture.

    Neil Smith (writer)

    Neil Smith is a fiction writer who lives in Montreal. His most recent book, a novel called Boo, came out in May 2015 with Random House imprints in America, Britain, and Canada. The book is narrated by a young science geek named Oliver Dalrymple who finds himself in a heaven reserved exclusively for 13-year-olds. Boo will be published in Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Mandarin, and Portuguese. Publishers Weekly gave the novel a starred review, calling it "surprising and moving" and "splendidly confident." The novel won the Hugh MacLennan Prize, an annual award for best book of fiction from Quebec.

    Smith published his debut, Bang Crunch, with Knopf Canada in 2007. It was later published in America, Britain, France, Germany, and India. It was chosen as a best book of the year by the Washington Post and the Globe and Mail, won the Best First Book Prize from the Quebec Writers' Federation, and picked up nominations for a Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best First Book, and the Hugh MacLennan Prize. Three stories in the book were also nominated for the Journey Prize. Writer Michel Faber wrote in the Guardian that Bang Crunch had a "rare fusion of thematic boldness, humor, gravity, empathy, maturity, and first-rate prose."

    Famous quotes by Neil Smith:

    "Mark really knew timing and he had great courage to address things that needed to be addressed."
    "I think there's some advantage to knowing what's going on and the experience, at the same token, new opinions coming in are valuable."
    "There have been huge improvements in the area with regard to the arrangements that are being made in terms of security, but it's still very, very early days in terms of how long those arrangements have been in place."
    "The committee is watching and taking input from people all the time."
    "Saying I'm interested in this one would be hard for me to duck. It would be a great opportunity, clearly. How could you ask for more than to be given the opportunity to go back to where you started and back to something you grew up idolizing?"
    "I can tell you right now, in my opinion, Pickens County gets a big F when it comes to their transportation needs and what they've done. There's no question it's going to get worse."
    "We are all one team. We are always picking each other up during the games, and when we aren't playing we all laugh and joke around together."
    "When I played against John (Elway) he always brought my game to another level. Then, after all those years of hating him, I finally joined him and I saw that he was an elite individual. It never crossed my mind that we would be going against each other again."
    "I'm committed. I know what it was like for John the first year in Colorado. We've talked a lot. I know I can call John because he's always there for me. I just hate the fact that he never wants to let his players go -- but that's how he is. He's a competitor and I can respect that."
    "It's a very good opportunity to build a club."
