History by Numbers by Pat Hudson
History by Numbers stands alone as the only textbook on quantitative methods suitable for students of history encountering the field for the first time. It is an exceptional book--even the numerically challenged will find inspiration.
'A new accessible text in this field is overdue..Hudson's book has the characteristic merits of her work: it is clear without over-simplyfying, and it locates quantitative techniques within a properly historical framework of understanding. I am sure it will find a significant market.' Professor David Eastwood 'This book deserves to be read carefully and thoughtfully by all historians. The approach is sensible, in no way triumphalist, but it clearly demonstrates the need for, and value of, even a modest level of quantitative skill.' The Economic Society 'Balanced, critical where necessary and alive to the difficulties which its readers may experience.' English Historical Review
