Editorial Notes Craig S. Revels Welcome to the eighty-fourth volume of the Yearbook of the Association of Pacific Coast Geographers. As always, it remains a privilege to bring you the research and perspectives of our members as evidence of how vibrant and wide-ranging our Association continues to be. This year's issue also includes the welcome return of the abstracts, awards, and various reports from our 2021 annual meeting in San Diego, which itself was a celebrated achievement after the pandemic-related cancellation of the previous year. The resumption of our annual meetings provides the opportunity to lead off the Yearbook once again with the APCG Presidential Address. In his wide-ranging essay, Michael Pretes shares with us his enthusiasm for the dedications, notes, and letters found in the books of several storied geographers. In particular, he shares with us the ways these often-overlooked snippets can reveal the personalities of the authors as well as provide new insights into the history of geography itself. Tate Pashibin, Geoff Buckley, and Yolonda Youngs consider the contentious process surrounding the creation of Canyonlands National Park in the 1960s. This process, they argue, was a key moment in the debate over multiple-use agreements in protected landscapes. The final form of the park, one that rejected multiple-use concepts, reflects the compromises and inherent contradictions that continue to shape resource management issues in the western United States. At the San Diego meeting, Dan Arreola brought together a group of former students and like-minded geographers to offer their reflections on Donald Meinig's Southwest as well as their own experiences with the volume and their relationship with Meinig himself. We find their thoughts gathered here in this volume as an appreciation of both the work and the scholar, reminding us of the pervasive influence of well-written regional geography and the sometimes unexpected but always rewarding ways our personal relationships with students and colleagues help shape our own geographical perspectives. Mark Bjelland and Madelyn Vander Veen take us from arid climes to the much different world of the Pacific Northwest. Here, they survey the evolution of Portland's post-industrial neighborhoods, examining key social and economic variables to tell the story of these renewed urban landscapes and provide perspective on the evolving nature of cities themselves. [End Page 9] Finally, Soheil Boroushaki illustrates the complexities of spatial analysis and GIS, exploring the theoretical underpinnings of a multicriteria decision-making algorithm and demonstrating its application in identification of disadvantaged communities in the San Fernando Valley. His article is a reminder that there are increasingly refined and innovative ways to improve the tools and processes we use to approach geographical problems. Though the articles in this volume of the Yearbook are few, I believe they illustrate the breadth and far-reaching interests of both our Association and discipline. As we move away from the constraints on research and travel created by the pandemic, I look forward to sharing an increasing number of our collective interests, ideas, and explorations. The resumption of our annual meetings is a welcome return to the collegiality and support our Association provides its members, and I encourage those presenting to consider the Yearbook as a venue for your research. To the APCG membership at large, I offer the same exhortation, and look forward to including your essays, perspectives, and reviews in future volumes. Every year, the Yearbook represents a collective achievement, and I offer sincere thanks to all who contributed their work to this volume, those who generously offered their time to review manuscripts, and everyone else who helped this volume see the light of day. Thanks also to Dave Deis for his work on yet another cover of the Yearbook. And as always, my sincere thanks and appreciation to Rick Cooper for pulling everything together to craft the final volume, and also for helping me keep the bus from going completely over the proverbial cliff.
