Review from: American Reference Books Annual
2006
The third annual cumulation in this useful series offers
biographical information on 199 living international figures, often so
hard to obtain, in the format of the standard Current Biography
Yearbook. The people featured here are from a variety of 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.
