Sinopse

With hundreds of entries in this edition, 'Chambers Biographical Dictionary' now offers even broader coverage of all areas of human endeavour. It has been extensively revised and updated, and gives unrivalled coverage in areas such as sport, music, radio and television. Over 17,500 biographies cover international figures in areas such as the arts, science, technology, sport, politics, philosophy and business. 300 feature panels provide extra detail on particularly important or influential individuals or groups of people such as Alexander the Great, Albert Einstein and the Pankhursts. Full cross-referencing allows the reader to explore beyond the individual - thus not only answering a specific enquiry about one person, but leading to information on their contemporaries or the people they influenced - and thousands of suggestions for further reading direct the reader to key works on or by the person in question. Covering the full diversity of human achievement from Boudicca to Nelson Mandela, Isaac Newton to Maya Angelou, Bill Clinton to David Beckham, the Chambers Biographical Dictionary is packed with fascinating biographies which span the centuries.
