Maintaining the same engaging, accessible writing style from previous editions, the third edition features an enhanced user-friendly layout, as well as more Canadian examples; practice exercises; updated coverage of web and electronic resources; and new material on primary source analyses, article reviews, and oral history projects. With a wealth of pedagogical features, including new Essay Concept Maps to help students keep track of each stage in their writing, the third Canadian edition is an invaluable resource for history students in any area of the discipline.
