"Concise and up-to-date. Well organized and structured. Can be used as a narrative text or a guide reference manual. An excellent resource for introductory students."--R.H. Limbaugh, University of the Pacific"A concise summary of information that students need in order to write traditional history."--Kathleen Hedberg, Idaho State University"A good text or reference for a writing class. I like the concise nature of the work and its organization into small topical sections. It is written in an approachable style that should put anxious undergraduates at ease."--John S. Ellis, Boston College"A wonderful introductory guide that every history major should have."--Paul Russell, Anna Mavia College"The perfect guidebook for the student just beginning to write 'perfect' research papers. I wish I had had this book when I was an undergraduate student!"--Anthony P. DiPerna, Molloy College"A very useful text for my seniors writing their senior theses. It offers practical advice both on the mechanics of writing and the less quantifiable creative elements of doing history. Its brevity is perfect for my seminar because it offers useful information without bogging down the students."--Julia Sneeringer Beloit College"Speaks to students' needs. It offers a holistic view of the process."--Peter G. Wallace, Hartwick College"Meets the needs of our majors....Each chapter is useful for our course of study.

Tueller, Brigham Young University-Hawaii Campus"Brief, excellent, to the point."--Albert Erlebacher, Professor Emeritus, DePaul University
