A brace of bibliographers: S.C.Stuntz (1911) and M.D.Warnock (1950). Stuntz on air-borne soils in general and Warnock on loess deposits in the USA.
OP 17 Harding, D.E., Smalley, I.J. 1988. Warnock revisited: a bibliography of North American loess 1805-1955. Leicester University Geography Department Occasional Paper 17, 66p.
This now has an OCLC number 20534913, and it always had an ISBN number; given as 870474 16 3 in the volume and appearing as 187047 4163 9781 8704 74160 online. This is essentially 'Bibliography on the Loess' by M.D.Warnock, published by the US Bureau of Reclamation in 1950; 403 references. Attention is drawn to 334 R.J.Russell on Lower Mississippi valley loess.
OP19 Smalley, I.J. 1991. The First Great Loess Bibliography: Stuntz and Free - republished 1911-1991. Leicester University Geography Department Occasional Paper 19, 93p. This is the bibliography from 'The Movement of Soil Material by the Wind' by E.E.Free, US Department of Agrculture Bureau of Soils Bulletin 68; the title page indicates a Bibliography of Eolian Geology by S,C.Stuntz and E.E.Free, but the bibliography is the work of S.C.Stuntz. And an amazing bibliography it is; it should be famous, celebrated, well-known- held up as an example of creative scientific bibliographies It should be admired and talked about. The good news is that it is readily available, OP19 may be difficult to get hold of but the entire Bulletin 68 is now readily available online thanks to Google Books, nicely presented, looks good on screen. Bulletin 68 has been reprinted by various 'print to order' publishers, perhaps the best known is Kessinger, although there are others:
Amazon offers Free & Stuntz 288p, Palala Press 2016, ISBN 10- 1357486065; OCLC 5718344, but the best news about the Stuntz bibliography is that it is available online, in good shape and at no cost.
