Title: A Fine Introduction to Historical Research
Review: Anthony Brundage's book is a well-written, easy to understand introduction to the often confusing world of historical research.Though the volume is a slim one, he introduces the reader to all the basics, including the history of the study of history, the different types of historical sources and how and where to find them, the challenges of writing the historiographical essay, note taking, and writing an essay.This second editon also features tips for using the World Wide Web as a source, something more and more people are doing these days.Though primarily aimed at students of history, it is a welcome addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in studying history or conducting historical research. The Appendices and Suggestions for Further Reading are an added bonus.
