Seminar Studies In History
1 total work
"Seminar Studies in History" bridges the vital gap between the standardized text book and the specialist survey. This series of concise paperbacks provides A Level and undergraduate students with a comprehensive range of material covering British and European history from the Medieval period through to the 20th century. Each book consists of a brief introduction or background to the subject, followed by a section of analysis focusing on the main themes and issues. There is a succinct assessment of the subject, a generous selection of documents and a detailed bibliography. With the increasing emphasis at A Level on interpretative skills and the analysis of documents, this series should be of great value to students. The format of the books works on a reciprocal process, whereby the text illuminates the documents and the documents the text. Contributors to the series are drawn from teachers in schools, colleges and universities. All are experts in their field. Rather than taking a neutral approach to their subjects, they express their own views clearly and directly, whilst also considering alternative perspectives.
