Full Description

Like its predecessors, the third edition of one of our most popular texts, this 3rd edition is a dynamic text/workbook that combines theory with 'hands on' practice, providing engaging essays, documents, and exercises designed to make the craft of history more meaningful and accessible to student readers - whether they are majoring in history, taking a history course as an elective, or simply reading history on their own - as well as strengthen their critical-thinking and communication skills. While this 3rd edition retains the essence of it highly successful predecessor in the form of its practical, timely advice on research and writing and 'field-tested' exercises, it features important modifications as well, including a reorganisation of the chapters to progress even more smoothly from a theoretical discussion of the nature of history (Part I), to practical considerations involved in confronting historical accounts (Part II), to actually 'doing' history (Part III).The final section (Part IV) provides a brief overview of how history as a discipline evolved and how it relates to other academic disciplines, as well as appendices that comprise interesting historical documents and helpful source references and bibliographies.
