Even the numerically challenged will find inspiration. Taking a problem-solving approach and using authentic historical data, it describes each method in turn, including its origin, purpose, usefulness and associated pitfalls. The problems are developed gradually and with narrative skill, allowing readers to experience the moment of discovery for each of the interpretative outcomes. Quantitative methods are essential for the modern historian, and this lively and accessible text will prove an invaluable guide for anyone entering the discipline"--cProvided by publisher. 0aHistoryxStatistical methods. 0aHistoryxResearchxStatistical methods. 7aHISTORY / General.2bisacsh1 aIshizu, Mina.08iOnline version:aHudson, Pat, 1948-tHistory by numbersbSecond edition.dLondon ; New York : Bloomsbury Academic, an imprint of Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2016z9781849665728w(DLC) 2016015081
