A Companion to the Study of History Reviews
"With Michael Stanford as a guide, the journey through history becomes lively and informative. Cheerful, accessible, wise, witty, and philosophically grounded, his book engagingly connects history as lived experience and as critical reconstruction of the past. Both professional historians and students of history will learn much from Stanforda s lucid common sense." Charles Tilly, New School for Social Research, New York
