Demystifying the subject with clarity and verve, History: An
Introduction to Theory, Method and Practice familiarizes the reader
with the varied spectrum of historical approaches in a balanced,
comprehensive and engaging manner. Global in scope, and covering a
wide range of topics from the ancient and medieval worlds to the
twenty-first century, it explores historical perspectives not only
from historiography itself, but from related areas such as
literature, sociology, geography and anthropology. Clearly written,
accessible and student-friendly, this second edition is fully
updated throughout to include: An increased spread of case studies
from beyond Europe, especially from American and imperial
histories. New chapters on important and growing areas of
historical inquiry, such as environmental history and digital
history Expanded sections on political, cultural and social history
More discussion of non-traditional forms of historical
representation and knowledge like film, fiction and video games.
Accompanied by a new companion website (www.routledge.com/cw/claus)
containing valuable supporting material for students and
instructors such as discussion questions, further reading and web
links, this book is an essential introduction for all students of
historical theory and method.
This book provides an accessible introduction to a wide range of
concerns that have preoccupied historians over time. Global in
scope, it explores historical perspectives not only from
historiography itself, but from related areas such as literature,
sociology, geography and anthropology which have entered into
productive dialogues with history. Clearly written and accessible,
this third edition is fully revised with an updated structure and
new areas of historical enquiry and themes added, including the
history of emotions, video history and global pandemics. In all of
this, the authors have attempted to think beyond the boundaries of
the West and consider varied approaches to history. They do so by
engaging with theoretical perspectives and methodologies that have
provided the foundation for good historical practice. The authors
analyse how historians can improve their skills by learning about
the discipline of historiography, that is, how historians go about
the task of exploring the past and determining where the line
separating history from other disciplines, such as sociology or
geography, runs. History: An Introduction to Theory and Method 3ed
is an essential resource for students of historical theory and
method working at both an introductory and more advanced level.

Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, with short survey
articles on Tibet, Bhutan, Sikkim, and various diaspora
communities. This unique reference will be invaluable for
collections serving students, scholars, and the general public.

"Das Heinerle," die Hauptfigur dieses Buches, erlebt nach den
ersten Jahren einer wohlbehuteten Kindheit mit seiner Mutter den
Angriff auf Dresden im Februar 1945 und bei Kriegsende auf der
Flucht durch das damalige Sudentenland die schrecklichsten
Ereignisse, die sein weiteres Leben entscheidend mit pragen. Von
ganz besonderer Bedeutung ist die kriegsbedingte Abwesenheit des
Vaters, die das Verhaltnis der allein erziehenden Mutter zum Sohn
pragt. Mit der Zeit wird aufgrund ihrer Hilflosigkeit in der
Erziehung und dem taglichen Umgang mit dem Heranwachsenden ihr
Verhaltnis immer problematischer und endet in der emotionalen
Katastrophe. Dieses Thema wird in dem Buch eindringlich
dargestellt. Der Autor beschreibt nicht nur ausserst realistisch
die grauenvollen Geschehnisse wahrend der Flucht bei Kriegsende, er
vermittelt auch mit viel tiefgrundigem Humor und Sarkasmus die
vielseitigen Facetten des taglichen Daseins eines Heranwachsenden
in der korrupten Nachkriegszeit, sowie Einblicke in die damaligen
Vorstellungen von Moral, Ethik und Erotik
