history

booksNot

so

long

ago,history

was

a

heavy

topic

for

the

general

reader.Luckily

popular

history

bookshave

made

that

a

thing

of

the

past.There

are

more

popular

history

books

on

our

shelves

than

before.As

a

historian,Iam

glad

about

this!I

want

as

many

people

as

possible

to

enjoy

the

subject.I

believe

understanding

the

past

that

has

shaped

the

present

day

helps

us

continue

to

build

a

betterfuture.However,academichistorybooksdonotusually

make

that

easy

for

the

general

reader.With

therise

of

popular

history

books,the

subject

is

now

more

accessible

than

ever.This

type

ofhistory

bookpresents

historical

information

in

a

way

that

is

easily

understood,sometimes

with

atouch

of

humour,seeking

to

inform

and

educate

a

wider

audience

about

history.It

also

providesa

knowledge

base

for

those

who

want

to

study

history

but

need

to

walk

before

they

can

run.So

how

do

popular

history

books

achieve

this?The

authors

adopt

a

natural,chatty

style

ofwritingthat

opens

up

the

subject

matter

to

the

ordinary

reader.Also,they

often

use

stories

and

interestingcomparisons

to

describe

historical

figures

or

events

vividly,thus

engaging

the

reader's

interest.Packedwith

vivid

descriptions

and

fun

facts,this

type

ofhistorybook

ishighlyreadable

and

true

tolife.Readingpopularhistorybooksiscertainlyafantasticwaytointroducepeople

to

thebasics

of

history.Contrary

to

popular

history

books,most

academic

books

tend

to

adopt

a

more

analytical

andserious

approach

to

studying

history.Think

ofit

this

way:popular

history

books

lead

you

to

the

doorway

ofa

palace,but

ifyou

want

to

enter

the

palace

and

truly

it,you

According

to

the

historian,why

can

popular

attract

a

wider

audience?Popular

books

use

a

natural

and

chatty

style

ofwriting

with

vivid
