Like its predecessors, the third edition of one of our mostpopular texts, The Methods and Skills of History: A PracticalGuide, is a dynamic text/workbook that combines theory with "handson" practice, providing engaging essays, documents, and exercisesdesigned to make history more meaningful and accessible to studentreaders whether they are majoring in history, taking ahistory course as an elective, or simply reading history on theirown as well as strengthen their critical–thinking andcommunication skills.

While this third edition retains the essence of its highlysuccessful predecessor in the form of its practical, timely adviceon research and writing and field–tested exercises,it features important modifications as well, including areorganization of the chapters to progress even more smoothly froma theoretical discussion of the nature of history (Part I), topractical considerations involved in confronting historicalaccounts (Part II) to actually doing history (PartIII). The final section (Part IV) provides a brief overview of howhistory as a discipline evolved and how it relates to otheracademic disciplines, as well as appendices that compriseinteresting historical documents and helpful source references andbibliographies.
