What is history and why should we study it? Is there such a thing as historical truth? Is history a science? One of the most accomplished historians at work today, John Lewis Gaddis, answers these and other questions in this short, witty, and humane book. The Landscape of History provides a searching look at the historian's craft, as well as a strong argument for why a historical consciousness should matter to us today. Gaddis points out that while the historical method is more sophisticated than most historians realize, it doesn't require unintelligible prose to explain. Like cartographers mapping landscapes, historians represent what they can never replicate. In doing so, they combine the techniques of artists, geologists, paleontologists, and evolutionary biologists. Their approaches parallel, in intriguing ways, the new sciences of chaos, complexity, and criticality. They don't much resemble what happens in the social sciences, where the pursuit of independent variables functioning with static systems seems increasingly divorced from the world as we know it. So who's really being scientific and who isn't? This question too is one Gaddis explores, in ways that are certain to spark interdisciplinary controversy. Written in the tradition of Marc Bloch and E.H. Carr, The Landscape of History is at once an engaging introduction to the historical method for beginners, a powerful reaffirmation of it for practitioners, a startling challenge to social scientists, and an effective skewering of post-modernist claims that we can't know anything at all about the past. It will be essential reading for anyone who reads, writes, teaches, or cares about history.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Bulk Pack of Disposable Spoons
These is a nice bulk pack of disposable spoons, and at a great price value. They are light weight, sturdy, BPA free spoons that conveint and safe to use everyday. My daughter is finishes her 9th grade school year in a couple of weeks, and when she is done we are have a small ice cream party. Which, is why I got these spoons. They will be perfect for the party and clean up will be very easy.
Overall, I am happy that I got these spoons. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a bulk quantity of good quality spoons, and I don't have anything bad to say about them at all.

Good price
For a thousand spoons, you can’t do better. It’s a great value for the price. They’re not the most durable spoons, but they’ll handle a family reunion with ease. If you need them for the office or a reunion, or you just don’t want to do dishes, you really can’t beat it. Eventually I’ll buy them again.

We use these daily. I buy the complete set then boxes of each to refill. Very sturdy utensils. Size is perfect. Very easy to clean to use after dinner for deserts. Only brand we use now. Great for cereal and ice cream. Very thick and have never had any break. Great value for the money.

Hard to break
Size: Large Pack
I am a mother of five so buying plastic wear has become my life. I'm insanely picky about them. These pass all my tests. They do NOT break easy. They are light when eating, not much weight to them.
Great value for the price. I'm a mother, I have to get my "bang for my buck" and these are what's it for me. I have repeat bought these study little pieces of magic. With an autistic child they make my life easier and the fact they don't snap 🫰 easily is a super win....
Bc it's NOT FOR LACK OF TRYING 😂
