Byers Encyclopedia of World Biography Vol. 16. 07652 2 nd. Detroit Foundation Press 1997 540 p. ; 28 cm 28 cm This new edition of the Encyclopedia of World Biography (EWB) represents a unique, comprehensive source for biographical information on nearly 7,000 of those people who, for their contributions to human culture and society, have reputations that stand the test of time. Bringing together the first edition of EWB-published nearly 25 years ago-and the supplemental volumes that appeared over the years, this set features fully updated and revised versions of EWB's original articles, including expanded bibliographic sections, as well as a cumulative index to names and subjects. Also, to round out the first set's already illustratious, carefully selected list of entrants, an additional 500 articles enhance EWB's cverage of women and multicultural figures who, in the past, may not have received adequate attentions in general biographical reference works. This new edition contained 17 volumes, together with 16 volumes (Vol. 1-16) of articles and 1 volume (Vol. 17) of index. Biography - Dictionaries - juvenille literature
