Biography
Lance Day, Ian McNeil
`Authoritative entries on more than 1200 individuals who have made significant technical contributions to our modern world make up the Biographical Dictionary of the History of Technology ... It should be in all libraries, or give it to someone you really like.' - New Scientist
`The Biographical Dictionary will provide academic and public libraries with much useful information.' - Reference Books Bulletin
`An outstanding piece of work. Any technical reference collection will require this volume, but general reference collections will benefit from holding it, especially in the biographical section. This work is unlikely to be bettered in the foreseeable future.' - Library Review
`There is much to commend in the book ... the contributors give clear, straightforward insights into the nature and significance of the technological contributions that the entrants made. Hence the book forms a convenient source on technological history in general and will appeal to a varied readership. It is also easy to use, not only because of its alphabetical format, but because it provides indexes by subject area, topics and name' - Business History
