2 reviews
Felix S. Cohen

University of Oklahoma Press, 2007

Perfect for college-level collections on Native American or American legal history.
Felix Cohen was a leading creator of the Indian New Deal and a champion of American Indian rights, so there's no better author than he to cover On the Drafting of Tribal Constitutions, reflecting his practical guidelines created in 1934 for tribal constitutional development. The entire work has been edited by David E. Wilkins, includes an essay that describes its origins and background, and is ...

In Search of the Perfect Job: 12 Proven Steps for Getting the Job You Really Want

11 reviews
Clyde C. Lowstuter, David P. Robertson

McGraw-Hill, 1992

The Perfect Book for Executive Career Management
Lowstuter's "In Search of the Perfect Job" was excellent in its first edition. The second edition is even better. As a marketer, I like how the book begins with personal strategic planning -- defining what you offer, and what constitutes a great work "fit" for you -- and progresses into the tactics with which you can identify target companies, tell your story, and negotiate offers. This is an ...

David Robertson

W. W. Norton & Company, 1984

Excellent Biography of James F. Byrnes
Political biographies are difficult to write and oftentimes more difficult to read. David Robertson's biography of James F. Byrnes is rich in detail, history, and brings alive the character of many prominent political figures. James F. Byrnes served as a Congressman, United States Senator, and Governor of South Carolina as well as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, ...

The Bucktails
The Battling Bucktails Battling bears before breakfast, and wrassling my weight in cougars - yep, I'm a real wild cat, and I love reading about the Bucktails. Of all the unusual combat units of the Civil War; none was more colorful than the Pennsylvania Bucktails. In the spring of 1861, by raft, rowboat, and cattle cars, there came from the mountains of northern Pennsylvania's "Wildcat ...

A Passionate Pilgrim: A Biography of Bishop James A. Pike

3 reviews
David M. Robertson

Vintage, 2006

Sobering, Revisionist Look at the 1960s
Robertson, a writer new to me but apparently one of some renown whose other books I will be sure to look out for, has written a sobering account of the 196os through a particular prism, the charismatic Episcopal bishop Jim Pike. Pike was a radical theologian and a moving speaker, whose positioning of himself as an effective force for change took him to what were pretty much the limits of free ...

Alianza Editorial Sa, 2005

A toast to the Robertson whisky book!
Before coming across this book I had no idea that reading about whisky could be almost as enjoyable as drinking the stuff. This wee dram of a book tells you more than you thought you'd ever want to know about the history of whisky, how it is produced,whisky regions and styles, and of course tasting notes. The author has clearly relished the experience. I recommend that all true whisky lovers ...

Clyde C. Lowstuter, David P. Robertson

Mcgraw-Hill, 1995

A Top Rated Book Of Epic Proportions!
I would say that this book is really worth its book cover price and then some. Mr. Lowstuter and Mr. Robertson have both done a wonderful job protraying the intricacies of social networking, not only for a job, but for basic communications and achieve higher goals. You see the main topics of who to speak to, who to contact, following proper protocols, etc. Yet there is a subtle push to really ...

Richard L Davis, David M Robertson

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1996

perfect
I read the recent edition of this astounding book for about a year ago. This relatively very informative and comprehensive book should be in the reach of every practicing neuropathologist. In comparison to the previous edition, an ample updated literature is also appended. In conclusion, excluding the neoplastic lesions of the central nervous system, this outstanding book is strongly ...

Richard III (Arkangel Shakespeare)

1 review
William Shakespeare

BBC Audiobooks America, 2005

Great listening
It's remarkable how writing which can seem dry and dead on the printed page can come alive in the voice of a professional actor. That's certainly the case with this play. I never liked "Richard III" in reading it; it was only when I heard this stellar performance that I really appreciated it as great drama.

Marion Mahony Griffin: Drawing the Form of Nature

1 review

Block Museum, 2005

Overlooked Masterworks of Architectural Renderings and Landscapes
Anyone familiar with the early work of Frank Lloyd Wright, his Wasmuth portfolio, and the architecture of Walter Burley Griffin will know Marion Mahoney Griffin's incomporable architectural renderings. Like Julia Morgan and Theodate Pope Riddle, she was an extraordinary woman in the very exclusive men's club of turn-of-the-century architecture. Those familiar with Mohoney's architectural ...

Hayfoot, Strawfoot: The Bucktail Recruits (White Mane Kids)

1 review
William P. Robertson, David Rimer

Topeka Bindery, 2001

Civil War historical novel is a winner
This is aimed at younger readers, but I found it well written, an engrossing romp through the unpopulated areas of North Central Pennsylvania. Set in 1861, and based on fact, the authors weave a captivating tale of uneducated backwoodsmen going off to fight in the Civil War. The title comes from the men not knowing left from right, so to teach marching, hay was tied to left foot, straw to ...

Denmark Vesey: The Buried Story of America's Largest Slave Rebellion and the Man Who Led It

5 reviews
David M. Robertson

Vintage, 2000

Within a hair's breadth of changing US history
The parallels between Denmark Vesey's failed slave insurrection in Charleston in 1822 and the start of Toussaint's successful slave insurrection in Saint Domingue (now Haiti) in 1791 are striking. In both circumstances, black slaves comprised the vast majority of the population -- 75% in Charleston, 90% in Saint Domingue. In both, the hopeful liberators were former slaves who had become ...

Real Matter

1 review
David Robertson

Univ of Utah Pr (T), 1997

Excellent, thought provoking book
This book is a funny, gentle, and brainy exploration of nature writers and their subject. Though Robertson is clearly very knowledgeable, this book is not a guided tour. It is a search. Which is not to say the author has no particular point of view. Robertson IS preaching here a bit about the importance of nature, and all "real matter" in our lives, among other things. What makes this book ...

Daily Meditations (With Scripture) for Busy Couples

1 review
David Fortier, Patricia Robertson

Acta Pubns, 1999

A wonderful book to read each day with your spouse.
My mom gave us this book because she thought we would find it interesting. What an understatement! I read the passage for each day first and then leave it on my husband's chair to read and then we discuss it. Sometimes we know exactly what they are referring to and other times it doesn't seem to apply. Either way we stop and reflect on the bible verse and the interpretation and discuss ...
