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.
