Description
Understanding history is a complex and multifaceted task. This introduction to the subject invites you to consider how historians approach their work and what theories underpin their methods.
The book explores key concepts such as causation, interpretation, and periodization through concrete examples of historical inquiry. By examining these ideas in a general and accessible way, it provides a sense of the excitement involved in uncovering the past and ourselves.
