Publisher's Synopsis
This book prepares a student to study history. Ask the average citizen of Western Civilization his recollection of studying history and you will most likely be met with a horrifying Tale of The Dead. Open a history book, any text, and you will find a story. It might be dry as dirt or as gut-wrenching as a bullfight. Some people think it is the teacher's job to make that story interesting. We submit that your job is much more important.This little booklet answers the question: "Why study history at all?"As one educator put it, this is "for all students but especially those who say 'I hate history.' "
