Public History: A Practical Guide 2nd Edition

Good book

Faye Sayer’s book is very practical in teaching public history methods to historians. However, I’m not sure this book ever went in front of an editor. It is embarrassingly full of typos and poor grammar. I expect more from an academic creating learning material for graduate students.

This is a well written book which accessibly communicates key debate, ideas and concepts within the field of public history. Sayer uses clear sections to make it an easy read, and therefore a perfect text to read for upcoming assignments as you are able to easily navigate the book. I would definitely recommend this for anyone studying history, historiography or public history at university.
