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.

Here is a revised one-volume abridgement (the first abridged edition appeared in 1981) of the Dictionary of Scientific Biography and its two supplements. It includes all the scientists covered in the parent volumes and adds 350 illustrations. Entry length, however, is reduced by about 90 percent. The scientists who are covered died before 1981. REVWR
