The first in a series of eight volumes, this text presents fragmentary biographical Greek texts of the 5th and 4th centuries BC. Before biography emerged as a literary genre of its own at the beginning of the Hellenistic period, biographical interest already found expression in various forms of literature. The testimonia and fragmenta edited, translated and commented upon in this fascicle illustrate the roots of the biographical genre.

Maria Montessori (18701952) brought about a revolution in the classroom.

In her rich and forthright biography, Rita Kramer brings this powerful woman to life, illuminating not only her lasting contributions to child development and social reform, but also the controversies surrounding her training methods and private life.

This book constitutes the first volume of a projected two-volume intellectual biography of Auguste Comte, the founder of modern sociology and a philosophical movement called positivism. Volume One offers a reinterpretation of Comte’s "first career," (1798-1842) when he completed the scientific foundation of his philosophy. It describes the interplay between Comte’s ideas and the historical context of postrevolutionary France, his struggles with poverty and mental illness, and his volatile relationships with friends, family, and colleagues, including such famous contemporaries as Sa

This first volume of the three-volume Cambridge Biography of D. H.
