Through seven editions, more than a quarter of a million students have benefited from this brief yet comprehensive introduction to the study of history. Covering everything from note taking to researching and writing papers, A Student's Guide to History is a useful reference for any student of history, majors and nonmajor alike. New coverage in the eight edition includes a chapter on writing with basic advice on grammar and mechanics, greatly expanded coverage of the computer as a tool for research and writing, coverage of three new history assignments, additional boxed guidelines that serve as checklists for students, and a new sample book review.
