Purchase Book
by Donald W. Whisenhunt
2nd edition, 64 pages, $10.95
ISBN 978-0-89641-258-3  Review Cart

 


This book is designed as a supplement to other text materials for beginning college courses in history — whether European, World, or American. It concentrates on defining history, explaining why history is important, and what can be learned from history. It is designed to be of assistance to the instructor who would like to give a brief overview of history to the students at the beginning of an introductory course. This second edition has been expanded to flesh out some of the ideas that were not explained as fully as they could have been in the first edition. Examples have been updated with more recent events to make it more relevant to today's students. Also some photographs have been added.
