Books by William Robbins

The H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest is a slice of classic Oregon: due east of Eugene in the Cascade Mountains, the Andrews Forest comprises almost 16,000 acres of the Lookout Creek watershed. William Robbins turns his attention to the long-overlooked Andrews Forest and argues for its importance to environmental science and policy.

Professor Robbins has brought all the apparatus of scholarship to bear upon his subject, and the serious student of literature, philosophy, or religion will find his study fully documented and illustrated by unusually wide reading. But the general reader will also be encouraged to find a subject of great interest.

A comprehensive history of Oregon State University, placing the institution's story in the context of state, regional, national, and international history. Rather than organising the narrative around institutional presidencies, Robbins examines the broader context of events, such as wars and economic depressions, that affected life on the Corvallis campus.
