Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rank and Talent of the Time: A Dictionary of Contemporary Biography, Containing One Thousand Interesting and Accurate Memoirs of Eminent Living Celebrities The utility of a Handbook of Contemporary Biography, if reliable, is so apparent, that the only use of a preface to this work is to give information as to the manner in which it has been prepared. In the first place, the memoirs were compiled from every available general and special source, - and here we may express our obligations to Hachette's valuable French work - the "Dictionnaire Universel des Contemporains." It was found, however, that great discrepancies existed among statements derived from many authorities, and that, unless means were taken to verify the facts by communicating with the parties themselves, the hope of producing a reliable book must be abandoned. Accordingly, we took the liberty of addressing a communication to every individual whose name is introduced in the volume, with the exception of a few royal personages, whose actions and fortunes are matters of history. We stated that we wished to produce a trustworthy work, endeavouring to avoid, as far as possible, matters of opinion, seeing that until the whole career of a man is finished it is impossible fairly to estimate his character, and that we therefore respectfully requested replies regarding points of fact. Our communications have been generally responded to; and whatever may be the literary shortcomings of this work, we believe that it may be pronounced to be the most trustworthy Manual of Contemporary Biography yet published. Yet, as the volume contains nearly one thousand memoirs, it is impossible but that there are many errors both of omission and commission, and these we shall only be too happy to correct in future editions, if our readers will have the kindness to point them out, and to supply the information.

Download or read book Biographical Dictionary of Modern American Educators written by Frederik Ohles and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1997-10-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely praised, Greenwood's Biographical Dictionary of American Educators (Greenwood, 1978) quickly became a standard reference work for students and scholars of American education. This new volume includes biographical sketches of more than 400 notable researchers, leaders, reformers, critics, and practitioners from all major fields of education and extends the coverage of its predecessor to the mid-20th century. Its topical range encompasses such diverse areas as psychology, music, health, measurement and evaluation, science, special education, history, and administration. It treats education at all levels, including early childhood, elementary and secondary, higher, and adult. Most of the educators profiled were active in the 20th century, but several dozen have been included from the 19th century. A special effort has been made to include women and educators of color whose contributions have often been overlooked in the past. Each biographical sketch includes information on family background, a description of the educator's accomplishments, and a digest of the person's education and career, professional and civic service, major publications, and principal honors. Each profile ends with a list of references, and the volume closes with appendices listing birth places, states of major service, fields of work, a chronological listing of educators, and a list of important dates in American education. A comprehensive index concludes the volume. Educators are included from all fifty states and were selected from numerous suggested candidates for inclusion. Most of the educators profiled were active in the 20th century, but several dozen have been included from the 19th century. A special effort has been made to include women and educators of color whose contributions have often been overlooked in the past.
