Making History offers a fresh perspective on the study of the past. It is an exhaustive exploration of the practice of history, historical traditions and the theories that surround them. Discussing the development and growth of history as a discipline and of the profession of the historian, the book encompasses a huge diversity of influences, organized around a number of themes, including the most significant movements in historical scholarship in the last century, interdisciplinary trends and historical practice outside the academy. New to this edition includes chapters on history and archeology, history and memory studies, International history, global history, and media history.
