( About the Book History texts study and interpret the pa...)
About the Book History texts study and interpret the past as it may be understood from written documents. The period before written records is called prehistory. Historians use a narrative to examine and analyse past events, and attempt to objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect. Historical studies are not an end in themselves, but also a way of providing perspective on events taking place in the present. Also in this Book History derives from Greek historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation". It is the study of the past as described in written documents, with events occurring before written records being considered prehistory. World history is generally considered a teaching topic rather than a research topic. There are many history text books of varying quality, with some addressing the teaching of history or historiography, the process of undertaking research in history.

Excerpt from The Attitude of the Western Church Towards the Study of the Latin Classics in the Early Middle Ages When we turn to the proper subject of this paper, the period from 800 to 1 100 a.d., we are struck by a great change which had occurred since the earlier period. Teaching was almost wholly in the hands of the monks or influenced by them. The reasons for this change are easily explained. Latin was the language of the Church, and had ceased to be the language commonly spoken. It was necessary to estab lish schools in the monasteries in order to instruct novices in the elements of Latin. The tendency was to confine the instruction to those who devoted themselves to the monastic profession. But this tendency was counteracted by the necessity of having parish priests who knew enough Latin to read the church services. The monastic schools were almost the only places in which such an education could be secured. The church councils were active in providing for such in struction. Boniface exerted himself to institute schools in the F rankish kingdom. He had himself been a teacher, and had written text-books. As he found the monks and nuns unfit to give instruction, he summoned teachers from England, his old home. This importation of teachers is especially important, because in England, as we learn from the Venerable Bede, a more liberal idea of education and of the use of the classics had pre'vailed.' Yet it is worthy of attention that Boniface in his letters shows no trace of interest in, or special knowledge of, the classics.'

It's an old textbook that I found on my grandmother's bookshelf, but it's still the best introduction to the Middle Ages I've ever read. It offers a high-level narrative of the tribes, clans, and individuals who shaped modern Europe -- and without ulterior motive.

About the Book Study Guides are books can be used by students to enhance or speed their comprehension of literature, research topics, history, mathematics or many other subjects. Topics that may be contained in a Study Guide include study and testing strategies; reading, writing, classroom, and project management skills. For example, in literature some study guides will summarize chapters of novels or the important elements of the subject. In the area of math and science study guides generally present problems and offer alternative techniques for the solution.

Dana Munro was born on June 7, 1866, at Bristol, Rhode Island, where his ancestors had lived for five generations. His father was John B. Munro, his mother Abby Howland Batt.
Munro graduated from Brown University in 1887, and was given the degree of Master of Arts by the same university in 1890.
He studied at Strassburg in the autumn and winter of 1889 and at Freiburg in Breisgau in the spring of 1890. Here he came under the influence of Professor Paul Scheffer-Boichorst and began the interest in the Crusades which remained his throughout life.
In 1890 he returned to America and taught for two years in a grammar school in Haverford, Pennsylvania. During this time he continued his post-graduate study at the University of Pennsylvania.
At the University of Pennsylvania in 1893 Munro became instructor and later assistant professor of medieval history. It was at this time that along with Professor J. H. Robinson and E. P. Cheyney he established and prepared eight numbers of the series of Translations and Reprints from the Original Sources of European History, published 1895 - 1899, the pioneer effort in America to take students back to the sources.
It was during this period also that he became intimate with the historian Henry C. Lea, in whose library he read, and whose methods of work he has interpreted in various articles.
In 1902 Munro was called as professor of European history to the University of Wisconsin, where he remained thirteen years. While there he acted as director of the Summer School and fulfiled other administrative duties. Although these interfered with the progress of his larger work, as a member of the active teaching group in that university he published texbooks and other material for teaching and started several younger scholars on their career.
In 1915 Munro went to Princeton University as professor of medieval history and remained there during the succeeding eighteen years of his life.
American entrance into the World War in 1917 brought him into government service, first, as one of the principal research assistants to the Committee on Public Information, then as chairman of the National Board of Historical Service. In this capacity he prepared two pamphlets, German War Practices (1917) and German Treatment of Conquered Territory (1918). He was responsible for preserving in many government publications a tone of moderation in criticism of German actions and policy, though he was convinced of the rightfulness of the allied cause and confident of future restriction of war's barbarities. He contributed also to the collection of material for the "Inquiry, " to be used by the American representatives at the Paris peace conference.
Munro was chairman of the New Jersey State War History Commission from 1919 onward. He became chairman of the advisory board of the American Council of Learned Societies in 1928, when it was formed, and served in that capacity till his death. Dana Munro died on January 13, 1933, in Manhattan, New York, from a sudden attack of pneumonia.

From the beginning Dana C. Munro insisted on the most rigorous scientific method. He laid down a rigorous rule that no statement must be made in historical writing for which a satisfactory reference to a contemporary source cannot be given. His influence has thus been marked on a long series of younger scholars. This practice also was probably responsible, at least in part, for the slow progress of what was to be his magnum opus, a detailed and scholarly history of the Crusades, based on an exhaustive and critical use of the contemporary sources and vivified by a careful study on the ground of the regions traversed and occupied by the Crusaders.
Dana Munro was an active member of the Wisconsin State Historical Society, and president of the Wisconsin Academy from 1912 to 1915.
He was president of the American Historical Association in the years 1925 - 1926, and served as managing editor of the American Historical Review for 1928 - 1929.
In addition, Munro was active in the affairs of the American Philosophical Society. In 1930 he became president of the Medieval Academy.
On July 16, 1891, Dana C. Munro married Alice Gardner Beecher. They had two sons and three daughters.
