History in practice (2nd ed)

The study of history has changed dramatically in recent decades.

The swiftness and scale of the shift is indisputable, but its precise nature as well as its implications remain hotly contested. "History in Practice" explores the discipline's breadth, its complexities and the intellectual tasks it takes on.

In this new edition, Professor Jordanova has made her ground-breaking work both more accessible and more universal.

Historical work has public consequences and draws considerable energy from contemporary preoccupations.

Taking into account recent world events, she has included a new chapter on current historical trends, which discusses the role of the internet, globalization, world history and the increasing enthusiasm for military history.
