Concise Dictionary of Scientific Biography

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.
