Lawrence David Weiss

Lawrence David Weiss PhD lived in California, New Mexico, and Massachusetts before finally settling in Anchorage Alaska in 1982. He taught sociology and public health at the University of Alaska Anchorage, and was executive director of two nonprofit organizations until he "retired" in 2012. Then he started Kennyhill Publishing Company in order to continue researching, writing, editing, and publishing in the emerging world of electronic media.

His most recent electronic publications include books about the Klondike gold rush and the Nome Alaska gold rush. Both are in the words of miners and observers of the time, selected from a wide array of contemporary newspaper articles and personal diaries.

His latest project, beginning summer 2015, is to build a website focusing on aging in Alaska, a single entry point for aging Alaskans and their concerned children and caregivers. This site will lay the basis for a series of Kindle books on related topics.

He also has a more long term goal of republishing a series of publications from the 1970s regarding political-economic issues in the American Southwest, as Kindle books. These will focus on critical issues of the time as they affected Navajos and other Native Americans, Hispanics, women, workers, and others.
