Opis: Deutsche Biog.Enzy. 2

Biography has become increasingly more important in historical research. Long forgotten individuals become once more the centre of attention - new information changes the accustomed point of view. An up-to-date encyclopaedia of persons is essential for all those who see more than merely anonymous forces at work in history and culture, in economics and science.

Updated New Edition of the biographical Standard work

The Deutsche Biographische Enzyklopädie (DBE) (Dictionary of German Biography), which quickly became the indispensable, definitive biographical work, is now published as a completely new edition. It provides information about more than 65,000 men and women from all aspects of public life - from the time of the very earliest written records, right up to the present. Several thousand individuals from all aspects of public life have been newly added. The DBE is thus right up-to-date. In this encyclopaedia, reaching back as far as the Middle Ages, Austrians and German-speaking Swiss are also included, as are people from other places, whose journeys through life led them to German-speaking regions, where they made a significant impact. In order to maintain an overall evaluation of the complete life and works of each individual, only the deceased have been included.

Clearly laid out and user friendly

The DBE continues to be published in a clear and user-friendly form, with 10 volumes arranged in alphabetical order. The articles contain all important details in compact form: easy to access, clear and reliable.
The Biographies provide information about the person's life and the impact they made: details of their background, education, influential encounters, career, the areas in which they worked and were influential, characteristic works and achievements, friendships and relationships, membership of groups and associations, reception and in special cases, prizes and honours.

Informative and Reliable

Some 1,100 articles unfurl the lives, achievements and influence of exceptional individuals in greater depth. These articles are written and signed by recognised experts. In addition, the portraits of these persons are further illustrated and highlighted with pictures.

The articles have been thoroughly revised and updated for the new edition. Details on the people and, above all, references to further literature are thus brought up to current standards of biographical research. Connections and relations between persons, families and social groups, as well as traditions and schools of thought, are illustrated through a refined system of cross-references between articles.

Until 31.12.2007 purchasers of the new edition of the Deutsche Biographische Enzyklopädie receive free access to the online version. DBE Online includes the volumes of the second book edition that have so far been published. As far as the letters not yet covered by the new edition are concerned, the articles contained in the first edition will remain available.
