Customer Reviews
Very useful for the student
Black and MacRaild have produced a book that has proved to be of immense use during the first year of my history degree. Studying History is an excellent text because the clear index and contents allow the reader to dip in and out to find relevant information when they need it. Each section provides an overview and explanation of the topic and the book also provides a bibliography of suggested reading. Some may find Studying History too basic and general, however this makes it an invaluable first-step. This book is much more accessable than others available especially Ludmilla Jordanova's History in Practice that is inaccessable and overly complex in structure.
Excellent
I had the pleasure of being taught by Don MacRaild at university, and this book is as vibrant, relevant and accessible as his lectures. Highly recommended for students, especially the sections on essay writing. Also offers a clear and concise overview of the discipline of History. A must!
