About the Book

From Herodotus to H-Net: The Story of Historiography, Second Edition, offers a concise but comprehensive and up-to-date account of the many ways history has been studied and recounted, from the ancient world to the new universe of the Internet. Clearly written and organized, it shows how the same issues that historians debate today were already recognized in past centuries, and how the efforts of historians in the past remain relevant today. Balanced and fair-minded, the book covers the development of modern academic scholarship, but also helps students appreciate the contributions of popular historians and of the many forms of public history. Often drawing on what historians from Edward Gibbon to Natalie Zemon Davis have written about their own careers, From Herodotus to H-Net, Second Edition, brings the discipline of history alive for students and general readers.

Review :
"Characterized by scholarly command of the most relevant literature, thorough and clear discussion of those sources, and an impassioned endorsement of the contributions of the field of history, From Herodotus to H-Net is resoundingly successful in achieving Popkin's stated aims."--H-Net Reviews "This is a wonderful book; it clearly explains the development of the study of history from ancient times to the present. Also, unlike other books on the subject, it introduces students to the world of academia and how it functions. The book not only clearly explains the history of history in a clear and accessible manner, it also includes a section on what it takes to earn a PhD in history and pursue an academic career."--Patricia Kollander, Florida Atlantic University "From Herodotus to H-Net offers a superb introduction to historiography on a global scale, with up-to-date analyses of the most recent approaches, a thoughtful discussion of the process of becoming a historian, and a judicious overview of the rapid changes occurring within the profession even now."--David S. Karr, Columbia College, Missouri
