This collection presents biographies of public figures unlike any published before. Covering both historical and contemporary figures, these volumes compile The New York Times' coverage of prominent politicians, artists, and activists, among other figures, reflecting how the public viewed and understood these biographical subjects throughout the course of their time in the spotlight. This unique coverage of each person's life and impact on society is enlightening, demonstrating how greater attention, and scrutiny, can change our attitude toward, and understanding and appreciation of, prominent figures in the news. Features include: Expertly written introductions provide context for each curated volume, equipping readers to understand the broader narrative in which each article is situated. Readers encounter various types of news stories, such as feature stories, letters to the editor, op-ed pieces, book and movie reviews, obituaries, and interviews.
