Scholars who write about history are called historians. It is a field of research which uses a narrative to examine and analyse the sequence of events, and it sometimes attempts to investigate objectively the patterns of cause and effect that determine events. Historians debate the nature of history and its usefulness. This includes discussing the study of the discipline as an end in itself and as a way of providing "perspective" on the problems of the present. The stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the legends surrounding King Arthur) are usually classified as cultural heritage rather than the "disinterested investigation" needed by the discipline of history. Events of the past prior to written record are considered prehistory. From Wikipedia under the

So, can anybody tell me how can i remember these dates without which i would do badly in my history exams and i obviously dont want that to happen. Asked by kittu - Sun Jan 20 04:32:26 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. How to remember important DATES You did not specify whether you need just years, or something more precise. There is no ONE trick that works for everyone. In fact, MOST of us are probably best off using several different tricks at the same time... whatever works! A few suggestions (and responses to other suggestions): 1) a simple rhyme may sometimes work, such as the famous 1492/"ocean blue". But this will usually only help you get the FINAL digit/part of the number.. and you will likely find many years end with sounds you cannot use to get a workable rhyme for your specific fact. Another danger of relying TOO heavily on gimmicks or unusual memory devices is that if you forget ONE key one, you may be totally at sea. Use them,… [cont.] Answered by bruhaha - Tue Jan 22 13:27:44 2008 Is it possible to study ancient Roman history withen a history department and get a degree.? Q. Can one study Roman history in a history department rather then Classics department??? I can't seem to find a school that has Ancient Roman or any ancient history as a curriculum. Any ancient history seems to be in the classics department. Am I looking at the wrong schools or is there not such degree as Roman history or ancient history outside the classics department. Asked by Scipio - Sat Jan 3 00:07:53 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. As you are (probably) American, and I am not, I cannot really give you 100% accurate advice. What universities offer in the history department varies greatly per university. The best thing you can do is inquire at your preferred universities, and go from there. Suppose your university only offers courses in the Classics department, ask them which university offers courses in the history department, and at what level/detail. They should know. Good luck!

Q. In both the US and abroad: - What will the history books teach about them? - How will they be presented to children in school? Asked by Omagus - Mon Jun 23 08:46:06 2008 - - 16 Answers - 0 Comments A. History has usualy been written by the victors, but in this age of communication - especialy the internet - that's becoming harder and harder to pull off. Plus, it's very difficult to see who the actual victors are in this one. What happened on 9/11 was a tragedy that caused untold suffering for thousands of people. Sadly, the way the Bush administration have chosen to deal with it and the mess that has followed will probably overshadow that as time goes on. I can't speak for how it will be viewed in America, as there seems to be more of an isolaionist viewpoint persued there (not by all Americans, that's not a diss to them, but by the government and media). Look at how many Americans believe that WWII didn't start until Pearl Harbour… [cont.] Answered by bonniethon (puirt a buel) - Mon Jun 23 09:07:40 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "History"
