Robert C. Smith
Robert C. Smith diary and memoir focusing on the company he started, R.C.Smith Transportation and Scenic Stage Line in Morrison, Illinois, his time in World War II, his cancer and recovery and his later life as a bellman in Daytona, Florida.

From the Bayou to the Bay
In this refreshingly candid intellectual autobiography, Robert C. Smith traces the evolution of his consciousness and identity from his early days in rural Louisiana to his emergence as one of the nation's leading scholars of African American politics. He interweaves this personal narrative with the significant events and cultural flashpoints of the last half of the twentieth century, including the Watts Rebellion, the rise of the Black Power movement, the tumultuous protests at Berkeley, and the sex and drug revolutions of the 1960s. As a graduate student he experiences the founding of Black Studies, the grounding in blackness at Howard University, and, as a professor, the swirling controversies and contradictions of Black Studies and feminism at San Francisco State University. Smith also locates his story in the context of the scholarly literature on African American politics, imbuing it with his own personal perspective. His account illuminates the past but, at the same time, looks toward the future of the long struggle by African American scholars to use knowledge as a base of power in the fight against racism and white supremacy.
We Have No Leaders
This comprehensive study of African American politics since the civil rights era concludes that the black movement has been co-opted, marginalized, and almost wholly incorporated into mainstream institutions.
Observational Astrophysics
Combining a critical account of observational methods (telescopes and instrumentation) with a lucid description of the Universe, including stars, galaxies and cosmology, Smith provides a comprehensive introduction to the whole of modern astrophysics beyond the solar system. The first half describes the techniques used by astronomers to observe the Universe: optical telescopes and instruments are discussed in detail, but observations at all wavelengths are covered, from radio to gamma-rays. After a short interlude describing the appearance of the sky at all wavelengths, the role of positional astronomy is highlighted. In the second half, a clear description is given of the contents of the Universe, including accounts of stellar evolution and cosmological models. Fully illustrated throughout, with exercises given in each chapter, this textbook provides a thorough introduction to astrophysics for all physics undergraduates, and a valuable background for physics graduates turning to research in astronomy.
The Brethren Spirit
We all need to feel we have a spiritual meaning and purpose, by creating our spiritual direction in having goals and expectations, heading down a positive path that gives us something to hold on to every day. Your work and dedication toward your goals can intensify your sense of spiritual meaning and purpose. Be true to your spiritual self. Hold on to it and live your life with love and compassion as best you can, evaluating the things in your life that hold the most importanceyour family, your friends, and your job. What it really comes down to is, know what you want and know why you want it, discover your talents and passions, and do not forget to use them every day.
