Academy, Bucharest, 2000; coordinator of the volume Veselina Urucu;


the


coordinator’s study is named: The Man, the Professor, the Geographer). This appre- ciation doesn’t minimize professor Victor Tufescu’s exceptional scientific con- tribution to the geography patrimony, and will bring him, although a bit late, the selection as an academician- widely presented in other contributions from this volume.


THE REGIONAL ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY COURSE, With two components:


A. The great extra-European geo-economics spaces, that discuss America and Asia - the most important countries on these continents, with a monographic presentation (not only economical-geographical, but also physi- cal-geographical); the course was delivered to the first year students, starting 1945/1946 university year. I would mention, as something valuable and very relevant for the pro-


fessor’s personality, for his sense of reality and vision over the world, the fol- lowing remarks from “ A few details”- the introduction of the already mention course:


“We are at the dawn of peace. As always, after great clashes that worry


the mankind, the general optimism suspects that has lived the final clash, the last massacre and that the peace which follows will be perpetuated. Naïve human utopia! Life itself means challenges, tension, conflicts either between individuals or categories of individuals (social, political, ethnic…), or among states. When the poisonous bite of a past full of ambitions, or the hate gath- ered into condensers in order to take its revenge, is added, one can find pro- phetic meaning in Isaiah Bowman’s words, who immediately after the end of the World Was II wrote: ” the egoist ambition and envy have too deep roots; they will vanish only when life itself will end and while they are alive, the vio- lent fight, no matter its shape, will take place causing revolutionary overthrows in the political, social and economical life.”


B. The great European geo-economics spaces course addressed to


the second year students in the 1945/1946 university year has, according to the professor “ a double purpose: that of knowing the European regional eco- nomic geography and that of framing Romania more precisely into the econ- omy of our continent.” The structure of the course is the following: An overview of the continent, which is a physical-geographical presentation of Europe


Europe’s population


Presentation of the countries, some done separately (only the UK, France and Italy, the first two and the colonial empires), some done on regions (the Nordic Countries, Central Europe, the Balkan Space.)
