As the AIDS crisis reaches new heights globally with no cure in the immediate future, the time is ripe to step back and examine the roots of this epidemic. In When AIDS Began, Michelle Cochrane constructs the making of this disease and dispels many of the misconceptions that surround it. By examining the early outbreaks in San Francisco, Cochrane unfolds the "creation" of AIDS in one geographic location and then traces how and why major claims about the transmission of HIV were made, extrapolated and then disseminated to the rest of the world - all important factors in understanding this disease.

(Book). The high standards set by Chet Atkins as a performer,
recording artist, and record producer continue to inspire others.
Complementing the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's
exhibition Chet Atkins: Certified Guitar Player, this book honors
one of America's most influential musicians. To provide insight on
the legend and his music, the Country Music Hall of Fame invited
several experts to prepare essays, including Michael Cochran, Rich
Kienzle, Walter Carter, and John W. Rumble. Chet only bestowed his
degree of "Certified Guitar Player" on four other guitarists over
the years: Tommy Emmanuel, John Knowles, Jerry Reed, and Steve
Wariner. Reed passed away in 2008, but the other musicians have
shared special memories of Chet in these pages. Chet Atkins:
Certified Guitar Player is a heartening read of essays and
reminiscences that provide a revealing picture of Chet Atkins and
his extraordinary life.
