very useful 17 Jan 2003
This is a very useful skills book. Through its clear sections it outlines some helpful techniques when researching and writing about history. Unlike the Jeremy Black, Donald M. Macraild Studying History book it does not go so much into the historical tradition which, in my opinion, makes for a much easier read.
