This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to gather in a single volume concise biographies of the most eminent men and women in the history of American law. Encompassing a wide range of individuals who have devised, replenished, expounded, and explained law, The Yale Biographical Dictionary of American Law presents succinct and lively entries devoted to more than 700 subjects selected for their significant and lasting influence on American law. Casting a wide net, editor Roger K. Newman includes individuals from around the country, from colonial times to the present, encompassing the spectrum of ideologies from left-wing to right, and including a diversity of racial, ethnic, and religious groups. Entries are devoted to the living and dead, the famous and infamous, many who upheld the law and some who broke it. Supreme Court justices, private practice lawyers, presidents, professors, journalists, philosophers, novelists, prosecutors, and others--the individuals in the volume are as diverse as the nation itself. Entries written by close to 600 expert contributors outline basic biographical facts on their subjects, offer well-chosen anecdotes and incidents to reveal accomplishments, and include brief bibliographies. Readers will turn to this dictionary as an authoritative and useful resource, but they will also discover a volume that delights and entertains.

Edgar Hoover James Madison Thurgood Marshall Sandra Day O'Connor Janet Reno Franklin D. Roosevelt Julius and Ethel Rosenberg John T. Scopes O. J. Simpson Alexis de Tocqueville Scott Turow And more than 700 others
Book Synopsis The Biographical Dictionary of Literary Failure by : C. D. Rose
Download or read book The Biographical Dictionary of Literary Failure written by C. D. Rose and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A darkly comic, satirical reference book about writers who never made it into the literary canon A signal event of literary scholarship, The Biographical Dictionary of Literary Failure compiles the biographies of history’s most notable cases of a complete lack of literary success. As such, it is the world’s leading authority on the subject. Compiled in one volume by C. D. Rose, a well-educated person universally acknowledged in parts of England as the world’s pre-eminent expert on inexpert writers, the book culls its information from lost or otherwise ignored archives scattered around the globe, as well as the occasional dustbin. The dictionary amounts to a monumental accomplishment: the definitive appreciation of history’s least accomplished writers. Thus immortalized beyond deserving and rescued from hard-earned obscurity, the authors presented in this historic volume comprise a who’s who of the talentless and deluded, their stories timeless litanies of abject psychosis, misapplication, and delinquency. It is, in short, a treasure.

Book Synopsis A Brief Biographical Dictionary (Classic Reprint) by : Charles Hole
Download or read book A Brief Biographical Dictionary (Classic Reprint) written by Charles Hole and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Biographical Dictionary For instance, the figures 8, 3, 5, frequently get put in each other's places, owing probably to a rough resemblance among them, especially in indistinct manuscript; and not only in manuscript, for any one who has to consult the new edition of the Biographie Universelle must often have regretted that the type there used makes the 5 and 3 so nearly alike as to require a close scrutiny to detect the difference. Examples occurring in the preparation of the present work of 6 in the copy appearing as 9 in the proof, and instances in other works of these two figures being interchanged, make it tolerably evident that they sometimes get inverted by the printer, either in sorting the types or in the act of composition. Im perfect formations in the copy have also, it would appear, caused 6 and 9 both to be replaced by 0. Cases of 6 for 0 have been remarked in correcting these sheets, and in the Biographie Universelle, John Hiibner appears as born in 1608 for 1668. The figures 1 and 7 [1 and 9, 7 and 9] have also been interchanged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
