Dear LIS Professionals

Biographies means form of nonfictional literature, the subject of which is the life of an individual. One of the oldest forms of literary expression, it seeks to recreate in words the life of a human being, that of the writer himself or of another person, drawing upon the resources, memory and all available evidences—written, oral, pictorial. For different important scientists in the world you can visit this link for more details about them.
