Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

For today's family historians, records abound. In courthouses and warehouses, town halls and rectories, archives and attics, we find old records in every form imaginable. Technology also delivers documents and relics through many digital formats. Audio files, podcasts, and YouTube stream insight into past lives. Libraries offer film and fiche, reprints, and revisions, translations and transcripts, alongside digital access to books and journals published previously in print. However, all records are not created equal, and history is not just a collection of "facts." Critical analysis is essential, and since 2007 Evidence Explained has been the definitive, go-to guide for those who explore history and seek help with understanding, analyzing, and citing the materials they use. Evidence Explained has two principal uses: it provides citation models for historical sources--especially materials not covered in standard citation guides such as The Chicago Manual of Style. Beyond that, it enables researchers to understand the nature of each source so that evidence they cite can be better interpreted and the accuracy of their conclusions properly appraised. In the six years since the last edition was published, changes at major repositories and online information providers--as well as the ever-evolving electronic world--have generated new citation and analysis challenges for researchers. As a consequence, Mrs. Mills has once again updated her citation models and added descriptions and evaluations of numerous contemporary materials not included in the Third Edition Revised. Evidence Explained's new fourth edition significantly reexamines historical resources and simplifies long-standing practices. Highlights of the Fourth Edition include: Updated Chapters One and Two ("Fundamentals of Analysis" and "Fundamentals of Citation"), continue to lay the foundations for successful research. An entirely new Chapter Three, "Building a Citation," provides a tutorial for the construction of citations. Here, you learn to work with seven basic building blocks that can be mixed and matched to create a citation for any kind of source. Chapter Three's 14 streamlined templates replace the previous 170 QuickChek Models, assembling the basic building blocks as needed to create citations for every type of material--whether accessed as an unpublished manuscript, print publication, database, or online image delivered at a specific URL or through a complex path and its waypoints. All examples in the twelve "Records" chapters (Chapters Four through Fifteen) are keyed to the specific templates that work best for each source or situation. Hundreds of new citation examples emphasize modern modes of access, particularly the layered citations that modern media require. WHAT THE CRITICS SAY. "The definitive guide for how to cite every conceivable kind of source a historian might use, from traditional archival materials to digital media to the most arcane sources imaginable." - John B. Boles, William P. Hobby Professor of History, Rice University "Evidence Explained has a fantastic opening section that really changed my perspective on ‘evidence.' The citation formats are handy but honestly, it's the commentary from ESM that made me want to buy myself a personal copy sooner rather than later." - Kim Phillips-Sasso, Clarksville-Habersham County [Georgia] Library, as quoted on Goodreads "Historians will welcome the publication of this detailed guide to citations. Even avid users of The Chicago Manual of Style regularly encounter sources for which that handbook gives no guidance. Now we can turn to Elizabeth Shown Mills's comprehensive work." - Journal of Southern History "This is an essential resource for family historians; highly recommended for all libraries." - Library Journal (First edition: Library Journal Best Reference 2007) "I purchased two copies of this book, one to mark and one to keep in "great" condition. I am underlining, circling, adding sticky notes and s.…
