Springer Biographies
The books published in the Springer Biographies tell of the life and work of
scholars, innovators, and pioneers in all fields of learning and throughout the
ages. Prominent scientists and philosophers will feature, but so too will lesser
known personalities whose significant contributions deserve greater recogni-
tion and whose remarkable life stories will stir and motivate readers. Authored
by historians and other academic writers, the volumes describe and analyse
the main achievements of their subjects in manner accessible to nonspecial-
ists, interweaving these with salient aspects of the protagonists’ personal lives.
Autobiographies and memoirs also fall into the scope of the series.
