	Dictionary of World Biography, Volume 1

Frank Northen Magill
Taylor & Francis, Jan 23, 2003 - Reference - 1000 pages
 0 Reviews

Containing 250 entries, each volume of theDictionary of World Biographycontains examines the lives of the individuals who shaped their times and left their mark on world history. 
Much more than a 'Who's Who', each entry provides an in-depth essay on the life and career of the individual concerned. Essays commence with a quick reference section that provides basic facts on the individual's life and achievements, and conclude with a fully annotated bibliography.
The extended biography places the life and works of the individual within an historical context, and the summary at the end of each essay provides a synopsis of the individual's place in history.
Any student in the field will want to have one of these as a handy reference companion.
