Studying history, a major new book by two practising historians, offers students a clearly-presented and comprehensive overview of the dynamic field of historical enquiry. Divided into three parts, on historiography, methodology and study skills, this is the first book to ally discussion of the philosophy and practice of history with useful guidance on how to study the subject more effectively. Studying History is an ideal introduction for A-level and undergraduate history students, as it presents the most important and up-to-date material in an accessible and practical way.
