Lists by dcornwall

Books and other media that I run across. Maybe I've read them, maybe I haven't, but I think they are worth you taking a look at them.

This is a list of US Federal government documents, mostly Congressional hearings that were published during and after the last Swine Flu outbreak in the 1970s. Although the 1970s outbreak did not turn into a pandemic, that doesn't mean the current outbreak won't.

Government produced or funded publications relating to Wind Power in Alaska.

Government reports, dissertations and other publications relating to Alaska's Mt. Redoubt Volcano near Anchorage, Alaska. In January 2009, activity was high enough to cause a run on dust masks.

No matter who assumes office on January 20, 2009, the President will have a very heavy plate. In my opinion, the books and videos on this list will help the next President cope with any number of crisises. Do you have ideas for what should be on a Presidential Reading List? Start your own WorldCat list and tell me about it by e-mailing me at dnlcornwall AT alaska.net

A listing of well intentioned but oddly sounding government documents titles published mostly in North America. See listing with cover art at http://freegovinfo.info/best. The list at freegovinfo.info is more complete than this one because not all govdocs are cataloged into OCLC. Submit suggestions for this list to admin AT freegovinfo DOT info.

This is a list of books and articles that note Governor Mike Huckabee as an author.

This list aims to collect personal accounts of US soldiers, sailors and airmen who have served their country from 1990 forward, with special emphasis on our two wars in Iraq. These items are selected without regard to ideology, but I have not read most of the books on this list. Comments on the items here or recommendations for additional items are welcome and should be sent to dnlcornwall AT Alaska DOT net.

This is a list of works where Alaska Governor Jay S. Hammond is listed as a primary author. Jay Hammond was governor between 12/2/1974-12/6/1982. If you want to know more, try one of his biographies.

This is a list of publications where former Alaska Senator and 2008 Democratic Presidential Candidate Mike Gravel is listed as a primary author. No endorsement or disparagement is implied by this listing. I was inspired to create this list after finding Senator Gravel's "Jobs and More Jobs" in our stacks.

In a brief bib record proposal at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/cip/creation-brief-bib-records.pdf, the Government Printing Office shares the result of a pilot to streamline backlog processing by creating brief bibliographic records.

To see GPO's brief records, go to http://catalog.gpo.gov, choose advanced search then expert search and copy and paste what appears in "My Note" on this list.
