Fifth and Sixth Editions of History and Historians

I checked both editions of "History and Historians" to discover that the first five chapters are exactly the same! Here is the difference: The Sixth edition has an additional chapter, Chapter 7 "Culture Wars, Postmodernism, and Other Issues," and the chapter on reading, writing and research in the new edition is Chapter 8. In the older edition the chapter on reading, writing, and research is Chapter 6. So, for next week's assignment, skip Chapter 7 and read Chapter 8.

We will discuss this wrinkle in class tomorrow night.
See you then!

For this week of class, you asked us to download guides to studying history from the course website. Was there a particular guide in particular that you wanted us to print and bring to class? The only guides I can find on the class homepage are internet sites with a lot of material.

Thanks!
