Because science has assumed an ever larger role in culture,
scientists have become public figures, role models, and even
heroes. Accordingly, scientific biography has grown steadily in
popularity. Biographies of Scientists provides more than 500
sources of information on scientists for young and adult general
readers and for scholars. These sources explain scientists'
accomplishments in the context of the personal and career
developments that made those accomplishments possible. Among the
sources are encyclopedias, periodicals, and individual biographies
and autobiographies of researchers in astronomy and cosmology,
chemistry, earth sciences, life sciences, mathematics, medical
sciences, and physics. An introduction traces the general history
and themes of scientific biography, and each entry in the
bibliography includes an annotation that discusses and evaluates
the biographical source and indicates the most suitable readership
for it. The bibliography concludes with indexes of authors,
scientists who are the subjects of biographies, and scientific
topics.
