'Thinking Historically draws together a great many ideas about the nature of historical thinking and applies them to contemporary history education. St phane L vesque shows a much wider familiarity with work on the theoretical foundations of history than many others writing in the field. He cites a wider variety of sources, includes more diverse perspectives, and brings new voices into the discussion of the aims and methods of historical learning. This book will be useful for teacher-educators, thoughtful history teachers, and anyone else interested in the intellectual foundations of history education.' -- Keith C. Barton, Professor of Teacher Education, University of Cincinnati 'This volume offers a panoply of references to some of the best scholarship on historical thinking offered up by both history education researchers and historians. St phane L vesque draws from empirical studies as well as from the discipline of historical thinking to create an important synthesis. From this comes a clearer understanding of how the foci of historical thinking come together and overlap. L vesque's range of ideas is outstanding and the array of references and connections is unmatched by any other volume in the field.' -- Bruce Van Sledright, Professor, Department of Curriculum and Instruction, University of Maryland, College Park
