This short history of history is an ideal introduction for those
studying or teaching the subject as part of courses on the
historian's craft, historical theory and method, and
historiography. Spanning the earliest known forms of historical
writing in the ancient Near East right through to the present and
covering developments in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, it
also touches on the latest topics and debates in the field, such as
'Big History', 'Deep History' and the impact of the electronic age.
It features timelines listing major dynasties or regimes throughout
the world alongside historiographical developments; guides to key
thinkers and seminal historical works; further reading; a glossary
of terms; and sample questions to promote further debate at the end
of each chapter. This is a truly global account of the process of
progressive intercultural contact that led to the hegemony of
Western historiographical methods.
