Synopsis
This text provides the undergraduate student of history with tips and advice on the ways professional historians write. Beginning with how historians find topics and research them, the book should sharpen such skills as interpreting source materials, drawing inferences from sources, and constructing arguments. The three closing chapters contain practical suggestions for writing effective sentences, using precise wording, and revising.

Review
This is an outstanding book for students embarking on the process of writing history. It is clear. It is comprehensive. It is thoughtful. It does the kinds of things I like to do in class. And it does them well. (Allan Winkler, Miami University of Ohio)
If there were one book that an undergraduate should have at her side when approaching a major research project, this would be the one. (David Van Heemst, Olivet Nazarene University)
Its greatest advantage is its organization. I really like the way in which it presents the steps of the research process. It is not only well organized but also very thorough when explaining each and every one of these steps. When it comes to this combination of organization and comprehensiveness, it is, in my opinion, the best text currently in the market. (Esperanza Brizuela-Garcia, Montclair State University)
This is a good guide! Pictures and lists clarify steps and make the process less daunting for students. It can be useful for students just beginning to write research papers and for graduate students who need the breakdown of the process to help them better organize their lengthy thesis projects. (Annamarie Vallis, California State University, Fresno)
