Western Civilization

The Modern Researcher, 6e [ISBN: 9780495318705]

Prepared by Jacques Barzun and Henry F. Graff of Co-

lumbia University. This classic introduction to the tech-

niques of research and the art of expression is used

widely in history courses, but is also appropriate for writ-

ing and research methods courses in other departments.

Barzun and Graff thoroughly cover every aspect of

research, from the selection of a topic through the gath-

ering, analysis, writing, revision, and publication of find-

ings, presenting the process not as a set of rules but

through actual cases that put the subtleties of research

in a useful context. Part One covers the principles and

methods of research; Part Two covers writing, speaking,

and getting one’s work published.
