Suppl. 1 ISBN 9780195150636

内容説明

Told more as stories than history lessons, the biographies in the American National Biography, Supplement 1 recount the tales of people who have shaped America-leaders, composers, entertainers, entrepreneurs, writers, scientists, and outlaws. Each tale is written by an expert in the field and masterfully woven together to present the most accurate and up-to-date information. As the first in a series of three supplements to be produced over the next three years, this volume extends the coverage from the original set, which ended to 1995, to 1999-including biographies that were added to the online version. With over 400 new listings, revised indexes of occupations and realms of renown, and bibliographies after each entry, the supplement continues the ANB tradition of reminding us of the stories of people who have meant so much to this country.

内容説明

American National Biography is the first new comprehensive biographical dictionary focused on American history to be published in more than 60 years, and it is the largest reference project ever undertaken by OUP-USA. In chronological scope, the ANB ranges from the time of the earliest recorded European explorations up to the very recent past. The approximately 17,500 historical figures who are profiled come from virtually all walks of life. The ANB is destined to be the standard reference work of its kind well into the twenty-first century.

内容説明

Told more as stories than history lessons, the biographies in American National Biography, Supplement 2 recount the tales of all the different people who shaped America-leaders, composers, entertainers, entrepreneurs, writers, scientists, and outlaws. Each one written by an expert in the field and masterfully woven together to present the most accurate and up-to-date information, the entries bring forth a powerful narrative of America's past and some of the most important figures that went into its formation. As the second in a series, Supplement 2 includes a fascinating miscellany of 450 lives, ranging from 19th-century eccentric Joshua Abraham Norton who died in 1880, to President Reagan and Rodney Dangerfield, who died in 2004. Supplement 2 includes hundreds of figures of note from the past not included in the original edition of the ANB or Supplement 1. New biographies not in the original set as well as articles first published in the ANB Online are included in the Supplement. The result is hour after absorbing hour spent exploring the literary worlds of Ken Kesey and Eudora Welty, the music of Tito Puente and Perry Como, numerous statesmen and politicians and many, many others. With over 500 new listings, bibliographies after each entry, and a cumulative revised index of occupations and realms of renown, Supplement 2 continues the ANB tradition of bringing the people who have meant so much to this country to the forefront.
