Excellent- By: Mr A Donkin, 09 Aug 2003 I had the pleasure of being taught by Don MacRaild at university, & this book is as vibrant, relevant & accessible as his lectures. Highly recommended for students, especially the sections on essay writing. Also offers a clear & concise overview of the discipline of History. A must!Very useful for the student- By: , 16 Jun 2001 Black & MacRaild have produced a book that has proved to be of immense use during the first year of my history degree. Studying History is an excellent text because the clear index & contents allow the reader to dipin & out to find relevant information when they need it. Each section provides an overview & explanation of the topic & the book also provides a bibliography of suggested reading. Some may find Studying History too basic & general, however this makes it an invaluable first-step. This book is much more accessable than others available especially Ludmilla Jordanova's Historyin Practice that is inaccessable & overly complexin structure.
