Yesterday's Globe had an interesting article about a UGA history professor and his new book. I took a survey course with Hoffer during my brief time as a grad student and found him to be a relatively effective teacher. He was openly dismissive and antagonistic towards us much of the time, but that seems to be standard in entry-level graduate courses. I also got in some shit with him for missing a class in order to go to CMJ. He was a fine man, though, with an even finer beard, and I'm sure this book will be most excellent. He's certainly no Ed Larson, though.
