A biography is the account of someone’s life story, written by another person and most usually contains more of the author’s own opinions rather than straight facts. A biography is different from an autobiography where the subject of the book is also the author or has worked with a ghost writer to tell the story of their lives.
A biography can help bring the subject to life and show what influence he or she has had on our lives. A biography usually has some sort of angle or slant about the person in. It is very difficult to be totally objective in a biography.
The biographies here are of people that have influenced my thinking and my world view.
