Editorial Reviews
Book Description
History by Numbers stands alone as the only textbook on quantitative methods suitable for students of history encountering the field for the first time. It is an exceptional book--even the numerically challenged will find inspiration. Taking a problem-solving approach and using authentic
historical data, it describes each method in turn, including its origin, purpose, usefulness, and associated pitfalls. The problems are developed gradually and with narrative skill, allowing readers to experience the moment of discovery for each of the interpretative outcomes. Quantitative methods
are now essential for the modern historian, and this lively and readable text will prove an invaluable guide for anyone entering the discipline.
