Tracing the history of judicial opinion from its roots in English common law, Popkin documents a general... In this sweeping study of the judicial opinion, William D.

ISBN: 9780226675459 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

History, Historians, & Autobiography
ISBN: 9780226675435 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 339 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

What then, asks Jeremy D. Popkin in "History, Historians, and Autobiography," are we to make of the ever-increasing number of professional historians who are publishing stories of their own lives? And how is this recent development changing the nature of history-writing, the historical profession, and the genre of autobiography?
