as genetic engineering and gravitational biology, and
work using the most advanced technology, like lasers and
computers. Based on these descriptions, Marquis re¬
searchers developed a working list of frontier topics
covering fields from agriculture to zoology. This working
list was sent to 1,500 scientists, including editors of
scholarly scientific journals, for additions, deletions, and
other changes and comments. The scientists’ comments
were embodied in the expanded final list of frontier
subspecialties, which became the basis for definition of
frontiers of science in each field. For the second edition,
the subspecialty list has been revised and updated, based
on recommendations from members of the Board of
Advisors and from other scientists.
The list was sent to each biographee, who was asked to
select one or two subspecialties that reflected personal
research or work interest. Thus, the comprehensive Index
and the sketches contain two subspecialty entries for
many listees in Who’s Who in Frontiers of Science and
Technology. If a subspecialty was found in more than
one field of science, the name of the field was appended
to the subspecialty description in the sketch, as in
Biomass (agriculture) and Biomass (energy science and
technology). Biographees with subspecialties not encom¬
passed in the list are found in the Index at the end of
each major field under the category “Other.”
