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. 0aBiography-Dictionary-Juvenile Literature
