- Abstract
- This directory lists specialists from the United States and Canada who have made recent contributions to the fire literature, to the teaching of fire science or related subjects, or who have participated in or supported fire research programs. This work is an update of the "Directory of Workers in the Fire Field" by Boris W. Kuvshinoff, Stephen B. McLeod, and Ricard G. Katz (NASA CR-121129; 1973). The directory is divided into three parts. The first part, the Specialists Index, is arranged alphabetically. The first line notes the name followed by the area(s) of specialization represented by Arabic numerals. These Arabic numerals are used throughout the Directory and are defined in a separate listing on page vii. The second and subsequent lines give the specialist's affiliation, mailing address, and telephone number. The second part, the Subject Specialty Index, alphabetically lists the subject areas and the corresponding specialist names. Entries are limited to two areas of specialization per individual. The third part, the Affiliations Index, alphabetically lists the corporate sources, noting the specialists therin. If a specialist was not affiliated with an organization, the term "Consultant" was used to group these individuals in the Affiliations Index.
