Rezensionen
"Peter Claus and John Marriott's insightful book History: An Introduction to Theory, Method and Practice offers a most useful introduction to the study of history. The authors chart the development of the discipline from Herodotus to the present day in a clear, logical and concise manner, drawing on a wealth of fascinating illustrative material to map out key developments in the subject. This comprehensive and perceptive book is a must-read for students of history and should be made essential reading on any undergraduate or graduate theory and methods course."

Robert James, University of Portsmouth, UK

"Claus and Marriott have produced an excellent textbook, impressively comprehensive in scope and detail, yet with a logical structure and short, easily manageable chapters, and written in a concise, accessible style aimed at the undergraduate reader. A must for historiography courses."

Sacha Davis, University of Newcastle, Australia

"A welcome revised and updated guide to the discipline of history, its variety, and practice. History is a comprehensive discussion of the development of the subject, different approaches of history, as well as a guide to techniques. It is an essential text for students that mixes historiography, theory, and methodology and is richly illustrated with examples."

Kevin Linch, University of Leeds, UK

Reviews for the first edition:

"A comprehensive introductory guide to the nature of historiography ... clearly written and set out ...it will be welcomed both by teachers and by their students."

Steve Rigby, University of Manchester, UK

"Students (and their teachers) will be grateful for this book. From Herodotus to postmodernism and internet History, Peter Claus and John Marriott's survey of how the human past has been studied and written about is impressive in both its range and its clarity. It can be dipped into when needed, while its totality provides a splendid overview of the richness and diversity that exist within the writing of History."

Bryan Ward-Perkins, Trinity College Oxford, UK

"Claus and Marriott introduce students to different aspects of historiography and methodology in a simple, appealing and engaging manner. This is a good book to support the study of History at university level."
