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
