Concise Dictionary of Scientific Biography

By Scribner

This is the first new edition of the acclaimed Dartmouth Medal--winning Dictionary since 1981. It integrates the 5, 100 biographies from the base set with the 400 biographies found in the Supplement, and includes photos and portraits of the most-studied scientists. Most important, the Concise Dictionary Of Scientific Biography is comprehensively indexed by theme and subject for the first time, making it a true historical resource, and more than a compendium of biographies.
