"This study examines important questions about historians and their work. In this fourth edition the main text is made more accessible through a number of new features: chapter opening summaries; marginal glosses for unfamiliar terms and concepts; boxed sections at the end of each chapter dedicated to key events and people; illustrative material throughout the book; suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter; and section headings to facilitate navigation around the book."--BOOK JACKET.
