Studies in Historical Method

History is more than just names and dates. It is a process; an art and a science. Only by appreciating the historical process can one truly appreciate history, and only by appreciating history can one appreciate the present and the future. In this work, Mary Sheldon Barnes teaches the reader how to approach the study of history methodologically, thus offering the common man a window into the mind of the professional historian. As such, Sheldon's text serves as a critical introduction for the lay historian.
