Description

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
