Editorial Reviews
Review
This book is the way to go for a one-semester course: a text that’s full, but not dense. It’s well-informed and intelligently written, yet still accessible. The big-picture approach combined with guided questions keep students on track, while the writing is lively, anecdotal, and illustrative―a nice balance of the forest and trees. The concise nature of the text makes it particularly suitable for online or condensed semesters. — Christopher M. Bellitto, Kean University
I liked the first edition, and I love the second. Concise, clear, with lively text, this new edition adds useful primary sources while retaining the strengths of the earlier edition. Brian Pavlac does an exceptional job in demonstrating to students how historians work, while providing them the tools to begin their own forays into the thickets of history. — Judith Travers, Suffolk County Community College
