It offers an overview of the state of the discipline of history today and the problems that confront it and its practitioners in many professions. James M. Banner, Jr argues that historians remain inadequately prepared for their rapidly changing professional world and that the discipline as a whole has yet to confront many of its deficiencies. He also argues that, no longer needing to conform automatically to the academic ideal, historians can now more safely and productively than ever before adapt to their own visions, temperaments and goals as they take up their responsibilities as scholars, teachers and public practitioners. Critical while also optimistic, this work suggests many topics for further scholarly and professional exploration, research and debate. 606 $aHistory$xPhilosophy 606 $aHistoriography 606 $aHistorians 606 $aHistory$xMethodology 615 0$aHistory$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aHistoriography. 615 0$aHistorians. 615 0$aHistory$xMethodology. 676 $a902.3 700 $aBanner$b James M.$f1935-$01075022 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461609003321 996 $aBeing a historian$92583184 997 $aUNINA
