People of all ages retain an endless fascination in the lives and influences of famous and successful politicians, pioneers, and popular cultural figures. As we approach a point where some of the fundamental scientific questions are being resolved (e.g. the human genome, a unified theory and understanding of the origin of the universe), there has been an explosion of interest in the lives of great mathematicians and scientists. In short, biographies and autobiographies have never been more popular. Bibliomania only has a small biographies collection at present but we are committed to significantly expanding this section of our site.
