Summary:

Finding information on the scholars who make up today's humanities community can be time-consuming, frustrating and unproductive. Until now, it meant consulting disparate and hard-to-locate sources -- many of which led to dead ends. Now, the Gale Group's Directory of American Scholars takes the guesswork out of researching American scholars. Students will be delighted by this directory's one-stop access to current biographies of more than 24,000 scholars in the humanities.
The new edition of Directory of American Scholars provides a comprehensive perspective on the American scholarly community. The set's broadly defined inclusion criteria ensure that profiles of important scholars have not been overlooked.
Five volumes cover a specific subject area, making it easy for students to focus their research.
Entries are cross-referenced by discipline and include the following information: -- Primary discipline-- Vital statistics-- Education-- Honorary degrees and awards-- Past and present professional experience-- Concurrent positions-- Memberships-- Publications-- Mailing address.
This set is arranged by discipline: Volume 1 -- History; Volume 2 -- English, Speech, Drama; Volume 3 -- Foreign Languages, Linguistics, Philology, Volume 4 -- Philosophy, Religion, Law.Entries in each volume are arranged alphabetically. Each volume includes a geographic index; a master index to all entries is included in Volume 5.
