Other thinkers who are introduced include: Herodotus, Bede, Ibn Khaldun, E. H. Carr, Fernand Braudel, Eric Hobsbawm, Michel Foucault, Edward Gibbon. Each clear and concise essay offers a brief biographical introduction; a summary and discussion of each thinker’s approach to history and how others have engaged with it; a list of their major works and a list of resources for further study.
