Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This unprecedented book, by one of Britain's leading intellectual historians, describes the intellectual impact that the study and consideration of the past has had in the western world over the past 2500 years, treating the practise of history not as an isolated pursuit but as an aspect of human society and an essential part of the cultural history of Europe and America. It magnificently brings to life the work of historians from the Greeks to the present, explaining their distinctive qualities and allowing the modern reader to appreciate and enjoy them. But is also examines subjects as diverse as the new perspectives brought about by the rise of Rome, the interests of medieval chroniclers, the effects of Romanticism and the emergence towards the end of the nineteenth century of an historical profession. It sets out to be not the history of an academic discipline, but a history of choice: the choice of pasts, and the ways they have been demarcated, investigated, presented and even sometimes learned from as they have changed according to political, religious, cultural and (often most importantly) patriotic circumstances. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: As New. A History of Histories (2009) by John Burrow ? Penguin Books Sold with slightly dog-eared dignity by Crappy Old Books. John Burrow?s A History of Histories is a sweeping, cerebral gallop through the evolution of historical writing, from Herodotus and Thucydides all the way to the 20th century. Erudite without being smug, witty without being glib, Burrow manages the impossible: he makes historiography feel human. This is a book about how we?ve tried to make sense of the past ? and how that effort says just as much about us as it does about history itself. Our copy? Well, let?s say it?s seen some history. The spine might creak, a page corner may be dog-eared in existential reflection, but the content is all there ? and still smarter than most of your bookshelf. Crappy Old Books ? Because new books don?t have that musty scent of wisdom. Condition as new.
