In this book Robert Smith explains all of the details of this ancient form of glass decorating. There exists today, literally tens of thousands of magnificent stone-cut and engraves crystal artworks. The heavy cutting art reached its pinnacle between the 1880's and the 1920's and is generally referred to as "the brilliant period".

2005 Phoenix International hardcover. Robert V. Smith (Where You Stand Is Where You Sit: An Academic Administrator's Handbook). This book offers a model for professional growth and development in the twenty-first century. Pedestals--metaphors for the glories of professional life--are described as communicating and serving others, conducting strategic planning, understanding diversity, and becoming an integrated professional. Pedestals offer sources of encouragement, optimism, and hope, but are challenged by parapets and dashed by the pits of professional life. Parapets serve as pivot points, either stimulating a rededication to pedestal-type efforts or leading--unfortunately--to pits. The parapets and pits are described in chapters dealing with ambition and aggression, jealousy and envy, drama and manipulation, forthrightness and angst, love and lust, and selectivity and prejudice, among others. - Amazon
