Each collective biography begins with an overbroad historical survey, followed by six or seven individual profiles. The encyclopedia-quality prose offers a limited portrait of each personality, and small, mediocre black-and-white photographs and archival images illustrate the texts. These profiles may serve as a starting point for report writers seeking basic biographical information. Bib., ind.

Five to eight historical figures (including Abigail Adams, Wilma Mankiller, and Pericles) are introduced in each of these well-documented volumes. Black-and-white photographs, maps, engravings, and other archival visuals are used, but some are too small and poorly reproduced. Introductory chapters try to give an overview of the historical era involved, though it is difficult to do justice to these large topics. Bib., ind.
