Merriam-Webster's Biographical Dictionary
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Weighing in at a hefty 1,170 pages, this addictive reference volume supplies brief lives of more than 30,000 men and women--the famous, the not-so-famous, and the downright obscure. Coverage of the non-English speaking world is particularly comprehensive. And thanks to the helpful pronunciation guidelines, names like Domitius Ahenobarbus and Abu al-Faraj alIsbahani will soon roll trippingly from the reader's tongue.
The Bloomsbury Review
It is so valuable and so reasonably priced that it can be considered essential.
