A professor emeritus at St. Cloud State University, Robert Hauptman demonstrates the breadth of his interests and knowledge with his two latest books.
In Authorial Ethics: How Writers Abuse Their Calling (Lexington Books, 2011), he discusses writers' lapses from truth in many different fields, including journalism, history, literature, art, and science.
A mountaineer himself as well as an information science expert, Hauptman (with co-author Frederic V. Hartemann) presents his interviews with 15 of North America's premier mountaineers in Grasping for Heaven: Interviews with North American Mountaineers (McFarland & Company, 2011).
