Wolfson Campus Professor Publishes Two New Books

Wolfson Campus history professor and historian, Paul S. George, has recently published two new books.

Mt. Sinai, 60 Years of Excellence and Innovation is about the founding and development of Mt. Sinai Medical Center.

It focuses on the philosophy of the hospital, and how they helped develop Miami Beach, among other accomplishments.

Roddey Burdine, His Family and Their Name Sake Store is a book about the history of the Burdines family and their beginnings in Mississippi and the development of the Burdines department store.

“I hope to get people to gain an understanding of retail, growth of a store and the founding of a department store,” George said.

George has been a professor at Miami Dade College for 20 years.
