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as a discipline evolved and how it relates to otheracademic disciplines, as well as appendices that compriseinteresting historical documents and helpful source references andbibliographies.
