This past week, two UNP books were reviewed by Necessary Fiction and the Omaha World-Herald.

In Necessary Fiction, Steve Himmer reviewed Bohemian Girl by Terese Svoboda. He said that “…self-invention and renewal it offered is at the heart of Bohemian Girl.”

And in the Omaha World-Herald, David Hendee called Atlas of the Great Plains by Stephen J. Lavin, Fred M. Shelley, and J. Clark Archer  a tool that could “…help save your life.”

The Atlas of the Great Plains has more than three hundred original full-color maps, accompanied by extended explanatory text and it chronicles the history of the Great Plains, including political and social developments.

As Hendee said, “it could help keep your car from being stolen, if you choose places in the Great Plains with low rates of vehicle theft.  It could even help win a bet on whether Nebraska or Texas has more natives per capita in the National Football League.”

And later this week on Thursday, journalist and author Catherine Robbins will be discussing her book, All Indians Do Not Live in Teepees (or Casinos) on the radio show, Native American Calling at 11:00 a.m. MST.
