Recent Product Reviews:

A very good reading with clear and concise narrative on the spectrum of comparative-historical methods in social sciences with examples of effective evaluation of these methods and good guidance for students on how and when to apply these methods.
Dr Natalia Piskunova, International Relations, Institute of International Studies, Mgimo-Moscow
It is extremely helpful to be able to offer this text for doctoral students. It is available at all our seminar sessions.
Ms Zoe Bennett, Humanities and Social Sciences, Anglia Ruskin University
excellent book. will definitely included it as recommended reading, might even adopt it as essential reading
Dr Silke Roth, Division of Sociology and Social Policy, Southampton University
Matthew Lange covers in his book a limited and somewhat specific area of historial studies. Comparative-Historial Methods provides core guidelines for historians who are not content with following a simple narrative, but endeavour more ambitious comparative projects. So far this approach has been neglected in historiography. Any researcher and advanced student will be grateful for this book.
Christian Schnee, Worcester Business School, Worcester University
This book offers a very specific commentary which will be useful to a small group of students
Mrs Victoria Ridgway, Nursing , Chester University
