Description
In this book, British author Daniel Wolfe takes us on a long, concise journey through history, examining the earliest forms of historical writing that emerged in the Near East, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Americas. He explores the developments in historical concepts, writing, and elements that occurred during these long periods. He then concludes with the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, discussing concepts such as “big history” and “deep history” and the impact of digital technology on historical writing. He also does not neglect to discuss contemporary political transformations that have had a clear impact on this field and its content.
The author also provides a short glossary of the most important technical terms, and each chapter is supplemented with a valuable collection of relevant sources for further study and expansion. He also poses a number of discussion questions appropriate for students and researchers, addressing the most important points and points of the chapters. All of this makes the book at hand a truly comprehensive, inclusive, and universal resource, useful to readers, students, and researchers alike.
