Book Synopsis Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts by : Samuel S. Wineburg
Book excerpt: Whether he is comparing how students and historians interpret documentary evidence or analyzing children's drawings, Wineburg's essays offer rough maps of how ordinary people think about the past and use it to understand the present. These essays acknowledge the role of collective memory in filtering what we learn in school and shaping our historical thinking.
