Rezension

"This book would be very useful for students at all levels of historical study from year 12 upwards. As well as practical strategies for approaching historical and research methods, it also provides an interesting insight into what history is, and how the study of history is always evolving. I would consider it an essential addition to humanities collections." (Reference Reviews, 1 March 2014)
"This manual provides excellent assistance for beginners and more advanced students engaged in the research and writing process in history. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers." (Choice, 1 October 2013)
