| Publisher Description: HISTORY, HISTORIANS & THE PAST is a collection of more than 3,000 quotations, aphorisms, epigrams, maxims, tweets, and musings by some 2,500 prominent, diverse, and little-known historians, writers, philosophers, poets, artists, playwrights, scientists, politicians, and others. It includes insights into the definition of history, the role of historians, and the value of past experiences on present-day decisions and future planning. What sets this collection apart from other books of quotations is that each entry is sourced, verified, and cited. Each entry is also nested in context, including information about each author and the circumstances in which the words were written or said. In addition, it is unique among books of quotations with the large number of contemporary authors, many active into the twenty-first century. |
