Finding Biographies
Book-length biographies of individuals may be found in GIL by searching by keyword or subject, using the personÕs name. If searching by subject, use the last name and select the personÕs name from the list of headings. The library may not own any book-length biographies of many persons, however, so you may need to consult biographical dictionaries and encyclopedias or periodical indexes to find information on them. Biographical reference books may be categorized in various ways. They may be current, listing only persons still living (these are often referred to as ÒwhoÕs whoÕsÓ); or they may be historical, including only dead people. They may be specialized, covering only persons from a particular country or belonging to a particular occupation or group; or they may be general, including people of all nationalities, occupations, or groups.

    "Framed by a superb editorial introduction, State of the Discipline illustrates the vitality of contemporary political science and its many points of contention, all focused on issues relating to power, choice, liberal democracy, and institutions, especially the state."
    ”Robert Keohane, Duke University

Scientific Biographies
This guide is intended to help you locate information on the lives of people who have played important roles in the development of the sciences. Before beginning your search,try to decide whether your subject is a contemporary or historical figure. Many sources include all time periods but often the work will be limited to cover only those who are deceased or only living subjects. This guide provides examples of sources and should not be considered a comprehensive list of library resources. GENERAL SOURCES These sources draw biographical information on many people together into one work, usually taking the form of a dictionary, encyclopedia, or directory. Entries are short, ranging from a few lines to several pages, and provide pertinent facts on an individual. American Men and Women of Science. New York, Bowker. 1970- Science Q 141 .A47 (Latest edition in Science Ref.) Asimov, Isaac.

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION ON SCIENTISTS SELECTED SOURCES USING THE ONLINE CATALOG (http://read.cnu.edu) Use the scientist's last name as a subject then look for the subheading "biography". For example, click subject and type asimov, on the monitor you will see. This indicates that CNU has three biographical books about Asimov. If there are no listings for your subject then we have no books written specifically about that particular scientist so you'll have to check with one of the following reference sources to find out more. REFERENCE SOURCES (Ref Q141 A474) This 8 volume set has over 123,000 entries arranged alphabetically. Very brief entries make extensive use of abbreviations. The last volume is indexed by discipline which makes it easy to locate leading authorities in each field. If you don't find who you're looking for here, check earlier editions of the same work in the general collection under the same call number and at Q141 A47. (Ref Q141 A74 1982) Includes all nationalities with 1510 entries arranged chronologically. Alphabetical index to entry number (not page number) in front, subject index in back. Good biographical discussions. The first edition is in the general collection at Q141 A832 A8. Biographical Index to American Science: 17th century to 1920 (Ref Q141 E373 1990) Indexes 850 biographies for scientists who died before 1921, arranged alphabetically, citing over 300 biographical sources.

-A-

Ampère, André Marie
Ampère, a teacher at Paris, has his permanent place in the history of science because it was his name that was given to the unit by which we measure electrical current. He had, of course, an interest in electricity; in addition, Ampère made similar investigations as did Avogadro into the nature of matter in its gaseous state.
Alfven, Hannes Olof Gosta
What I know of Alfven is that he was born in Sweden in 1908; and, while at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, in 1970, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics "for fundamental work and discoveries in magneto-hydrodynamics with fruitful applications in different parts of plasma physics." I first bumped into Alfven when I picked up a small paperback book of his, which I very much enjoyed, Atom, Man, and the Universe, The Long Chain of Complications (San Francisco: Freeman, 1969). It was written simply and plainly for a general audience, and enables us "to view ourselves both as a part of the atomic microcosm and as part of the universe that dwarfs us."
Archimedes (287-212 B.C.).

Attracting the Best Talent from All Sectors

As commander of the Air Force Materiel Command, Gen. Lester L. Lyles is responsible for the acquisition, management services, and logistics support necessary to keep the Air Force ready for war, whenever and wherever it's needed.
He began his Air Force career in 1968, after earning his B.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering from Howard University. He received an M.Sc. in mechanical and nuclear engineering in 1969 from the Air Force Institute of Technology program at New Mexico State University and later attended numerous armed forces management and technical training programs, including the prestigious National and International Security Management Course at Harvard University.
Among the highlights of his distinguished career, Gen. Lyles has served as director of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization and as vice chief of staff of the Air Force. He assumed his current position in April 2000.
