Imagine that you have stumbled upon an old, leather-bound book in the dusty corner of a library. You crack open the cover and discover a real piece of history: a text that has been forgotten for many years.
You have discovered both a history book, and an historical artifact.
Learn about history by reading a piece of history! And while you’re at it, learn to think about history.
Wells introduces his readers to concepts as well as facts. His very writing style and assumptions are a part of history. Reading his work invites students to check facts, assess language, and dig deeper, while retaining respect for the scholarship of bygone times.
