This reads like a collection of self-serving book blurbs written by the author herself. This needs to be properly edited or deleted. Besides, she is not a famous scholar in any field (Assyriology, history of mathematics, etc.), just a minor figure, so why is she here? — Preceding

Publicity blurbs for books also include positive highlights from published reviews. No need to be sarcastic; I could also say that you (Mr. Epstein) don't seem to know much about the publishing industry. The point is that (a) this bio corresponds to a scholar with no public profile beyond her small field (Mesopotamian mathematics), and (b) it reads like a press release written by her literary agent: it's simply a collection of praising remarks. There are equally negative reviews of this person's work. This is almost certainly written by the scholar herself or a close disciple. This person has no footprint outside her small subfield to deserve such a detailed bio -- a list of publications with selected words of praise for each item, something you almost never see in Wikipedia. — Preceding
