The History Handbook

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

This book teaches students both basic and history-specific study skills such as how to read primary sources, research historical topics, and correctly cite sources. The handbook also explores the use of technology in history courses, giving tips on how to conduct Internet research, evaluate the credibility of online materials, and correctly cite nontraditional sources.

The first section of the book attempts to answer the age-old question posed by so many history students: "Why do I need to learn this?" This section explains the relevance of history and the reasons for studying it.

• The handbook strengthens students' basic academic skills by offering guidelines for note taking, exam preparation, class presentations, primary-source analysis, research, citation, and more.
• This book is substantially less expensive than comparable skill-building texts.
