Does history matter? Is it anything more than entertainment? And if
so, what practical relevance does it have? In this fully revised
second edition of a seminal text, John Tosh persuasively argues
that history is central to an informed and critical understanding
of topical issues in the present. Including a range of contemporary
examples from Brexit to child sexual abuse to the impact of the
internet, this is an important and practical introduction for all
students of history. Inspiring and empowering, this book provides
both students and general readers with a stimulating and practical
rationale for the study of history. It is essential reading for all
undergraduate students of history who require an engaging
introduction to the subject. New to this Edition: - Illustrative
examples and case studies are fully updated - Features a postscript
on British historians and Brexit - Bibliography is heavily revised
