Product Information

The latest from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography-authoritative and accessible biographies of more than 800 men and women who shaped national life and who died from 2001 onwards, accompanied by over 250 portrait images. This volume extends the coverage of the Oxford DNB, first published as a 60-volume print set in 2004, to include biographies published annually as part of the Oxford DNB's online edition.These are the people responsible for some of the major developments in national life during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Alongside those who left their mark in politics, the arts, business, law, military service, sport, and education are leading figures in new branches of science and medicine-such as genetics, transplantation, and computing-and in new forms of entertainment and communication-from Radio One to the mobile phone.Authoritative and accessible, the biographies in this volume are written by specialist authors, many of them leading figures in their field. Here you will find Ned Sherrin on Spike Milligan, Anthony Howard on Barbara Castle, Bel Mooney on Bernard Levin, Geoffrey Owen on Arnold Weinstock, Paul Johnson on Lord Longford, Patrick Moore on Fred Hoyle, Sarah Bradford on Princess Margaret, Michael Beloff on George Carman, Mike Phillips on Val McCalla, and Andrew Huxley on Bernard Katz, one of nine Nobel laureates to appear in this collection.
