Reducing Gun Violence in America :
Informing Policy with Evidence and

The Accidental Diarist : A History of
the Daily Planner in
America
Edited by Daniel W.
Webster and Jon S.
Vernick (2013)
Molly McCarthy (2013)
363.33 RED
808.06 MCC
More than 20 leading
experts on gun violence and policy summarize
relevant research and recommend policies that
are both constitutional and have broad public
support.
In this era of tweets and blogs, it
is easy to assume that the selfobsessive recording of daily minutiae is a recent
phenomenon. But the daily planners first
emerged in colonial times as a means of telling
time, tracking finances, locating the nearest inn,
and even planning for the coming winter. Daily
planners were carried by everyone from George
Washington to the soldiers who fought the Civil
War. The author explores just how vital these
unassuming and easily overlooked stationery
staples are to those who use them.
