This exciting collection examines those individuals whose contributions have had an impact upon their society and era. This popular series is in the process of being extensively revised, with The Ancient World and The Middle Ages now available in the Great Lives from History series (see pages 8 and 31). Each article begins with ready-reference listings, including a brief statement summarizing the individual's contribution to his or her society and later ages. While each series has its unique qualities, several features distinguish this series as a whole from other biographical reference works. The articles combine breadth of coverage, each averaging 4 oversized pages (2,000 to 3,000 words), with a format that offers the user quick access to the particular information needed. For convenience, these volumes are indexed by areas of achievement, by geographical location, and by name.
