"This Web site, from A&E Television Network, offers over 25,000 biographies for people past and present. The site is searchable, and each biography includes links to related people, places, and organizations, as well as A&E's videos-for-sale section. The site features 'Born on this day' and 'Also born on this day' biographies. Upcoming features on A&E's Biography television program are given, and the left sidebar on the home page lists and links to the 'Ten top bios.' Optimized for Internet Explorer 5 and above, the only drawbacks to this busy site are large banner ads and infrequent pop-up windows with featured movies/videos for sale. This extensive site is the perfect source for anyone looking for background or historical and biographical information"-- "Best Free Reference Web Sites 2002."
