Is there a good way of discovering other books/pamphlets like this that the government makes available (e.g. a curated list)? They're usually super interesting and have lots of good info, but I'm not sure how to find them other than picking a federal/state/county department and poking around their site to see what PDFs they have available. I've found trail guides, local plant guides, walking maps, etc. via that approach, but it's time-intensive and I wouldn't have stumbled across this guide unless I had already heard about it.
- ct0 5y agoa very narrow search in to google might do the trick. try something like "site:https://www.fs.fed.us/t-d//pubs/pdfpubs/ https://www.fs.fed.us/t-d//pubs/pdfpubs/ file:pdf"
- ourguile 5y agoYou may be able to find more information on the National Forest Service Library - https://www.fs.fed.us/library/ https://www.fs.fed.us/library/. You're right though, I've found searching for these lists to be very time consuming and the databases do not tend to be very user friendly.
- haunter 5y agohttps://fas.org/ https://fas.org/ has a huge selection of national defense related manuals and guides https://fas.org/irp/doddir/ https://fas.org/irp/doddir/ covering a lot of topics My favorite one is the Army Survival guide. Probably the best and most detailed guide one out there https://fas.org/irp/doddir/army/fm3-05-70.pdf https://fas.org/irp/doddir/army/fm3-05-70.pdf
- cproctor 5y agoThe NPS preservation briefs (ex. historic masonry [1]) are fantastic, and like the grandparent, document knowledge that is largely lost in practice.
