Scribner's Sons. Editor Gillispie, Charles Coulston (Author)
A landmark of scientific biographies... I had the bliss to read many of them back in time... The work is notable for being one of the most substantial reference works in the field of history of science, containing extensive biographies on hundreds of figures.
We just need: your name, the title of the instant, a brief description (just one sentence), an image or a song, or a poem, or whatever is blissfully meaningful, and the link to the source :)
