"Articles are clearly written and vocabulary is accessible to students at the secondary school level and above. Recommended as a reference source in public libraries and in high school and college libraries where a curriculum need exists." --Booklist
"Both books are factual and well written ... Fascinating lives make a fascinating reading and both these volumes are not only useful as references, but they offer interesting insights... Both will be of use in libraries where there is demand, and, as with the other books in this series, larger academic and public libraries may want these books in circulation." --Against the GrainAbout the Author
