Articles trace a person's life through the sequence of significant events as they occurred from birth to death. Childhood and education are, as a rule, briefly discussed at the outset; then the course of the subject's career is mapped out, with the emphasis on the key achievements and the essential details of private life. Wherever possible, contextual or explanatory information has been given in order to orient the general reader, who may be unaware of the historical circumstances surrounding an event or unfamiliar with the particulars of a field of endeavor, such as physics or educational theory or agriculture. Appended to each article is a descriptive bibliography, which may include mention of primary sources, the most useful published biographies, articles or monographs about specific aspects of the person's career, and obituaries.
