Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Various authors present case studies of microhistory, an evolving branch of historical research that seeks to focus on writing without anachronism about events and peoples. The microhistorian uses the methodology of strict positivist standards to reconstruct the meanings of artifacts in their original context. They seek to find historical causation on the level of small groups and open history to ideas tainted by the modernity of other methods.
