    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    First published in 1967, Local History and the Teacher explores the opportunities and the difficulties presented by the study and teaching of historical aspects of the local environment. The author treats the development and value of local history studies in the work of English Schools, and discusses in detail the varied sources of local history. He describes a variety of studies involving local history which were undertaken by teachers and students. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of local history and to teachers concerned with environment studies.



    Reviews of the first publication:


    ‘An informative sketch of the development of local historical studies in schools and colleges is followed by descriptions of the wide range of sources available. In a subject as difficult to handle as local history, one cannot have too much practical advice: there is plenty of it in Mr Douch’s book.’


    Teacher


    ‘The book abounds in many useful suggestions and could well become a handbook for teachers desirous of promoting the study of local history in their schools.’
