Kelley, Elizabeth Burroughs – Communicator, 1974
John Burroughs (1837-1921) did more than anyone else in his time, through his books and magazine articles, to create an interest in the natural sciences and outdoor life.

Smith, Matthew G. – Rural Development Perspectives, 1986
Small farmers are a diverse group, ranging from part-time hobbyists with good off-farm jobs to full-time operators. General rural development policies, rather than traditional farm policies, may be the best method to help those small farmers who earn insufficient income. (JHZ)

Maiden, Robert J.; Peterson, Steven A. – 1987
