Brief biographies on currently active scientists. "Biographical Directory of Today's Leaders in Physical,
Biological, and Related Sciences"

Published since 1877, Biographical Memoirs are brief biographies of deceased National Academy of Sciences members, written by those who knew them or their work. These biographies provide a personal and scholarly view of the lives and work of America's most distinguished scientists and a biographical history of science in the United States. The memoirs collection includes more than 1400 memoirs, including those of famed naturalist Louis Agassiz; Joseph Henry, the first secretary of the Smithsonian Institution; Thomas Edison; Alexander Graham Bell; noted anthropologist Margaret Mead; and psychologist and philosopher John Dewey.

The most important single reference work in the history of science, this covers all historical periods
and has no geographic limitations. Entries range in length from less than one page to more than fifty,
and are written by leading authorities. Each includes bibliographies of the subject's writings and of books
and articles about him or her. Selection criteria were very rigorous; an index serves to locate information
about people for whom there is no entry.
