fields: sports (13.6%), government (11.1%), acting/performing/dance
(11.1%), music (9.1%), journalism/media (8.6%), and business (8.1%).
Regions represented include Western Europe, Latin America, Africa,
Asia, United Kingdom/lreland, Middle East, Russia, Australia/New
Zealand, Canada, and Eastern Europe. There are listings by
profession and country, and a cumulative name index. The biographies
featured here are also included in H.W. Wilson’s Current Biography
Illustrated and Biography Reference Bank databases. |
