Summary
Jeremy Black, Donald Macraild: Studying History
Two historians, lecturers and researchers answer the question about the complexity of the exciting scientific discipline that is history. The book contains essential information necessary for understanding historical science, but also practical instructions for writing it. The authors offer a rough picture of history and talk about different approaches to the study and the ways in which it has changed. They then consider sources and methods as well as different theoretical concepts that historians use and apply to documents and evidence. Special attention is paid to practical advice: how to take notes and organize learning, instructions on writing essays, approaching debates and taking exams... At the same time, it is a guide to current views on history and a practical textbook that enriches the knowledge of historians.
