Summary:

This reference for librarians in public, high school, and college libraries gives info and brief synopses of 456 biography titles on people from ancient times to the present, from many fields and countries around the world. Most of the books were published in the last 10 years; some classics are also covered. As in other books in the series, entries are arranged in sections on character (such as leaders, geniuses, rebels), story (such as coming of age, rags to riches, true crimes), setting (such as frontiers, war, royalty), language (such as episodic biography, epic tales, investigative reports), and mood (romance, danger, tragedy, gossip).
