Historians carry out their work by analyzing primary sources and building logically sound arguments based on a careful reading of the evidence. For this reason, historical narratives are interpretations, not reiterations of fact. When historians write books based on their interpretation of the sources, they see the past through those sources\u2019 eyes. This means that all history books examine the past through a \u201clens\u201d \u2013 that is, through the eyes of the subjects (or objects, or ideas) they center in their narratives. This is why generations of historians have been able to write about the exact same events without repeating the exact same stories and conclusions; by investigating the past through a different lens, historians can view the same events from a new angle or point of view and discover new insights. Shifting the lens allows us to discover details, connections, and patterns that others miss. <\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li>Social history: Chris Harman,<em> A People\u2019s History of the World: From the Stone Age to the New Millenium <\/em>(2017)<\/li>\n<li>Women\u2019s history: Rosalind Miles<em>, The Women\u2019s History of the Modern World: How Radicals, Rebels, and Everywomen<br \/>\nRevolutionized the Last 200 Years <\/em>(2021)<\/li>\n<li>Great-man history: Jack Weatherford,<em> Genghis Kahn and the Making of the Modern World <\/em>(2005)<\/li>\n<li>Religious history: Tamim Ansary<em>, Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes <\/em>(2010)<\/li>\n<li>History of Networks: Peter Frankopan<em>, The Silk Roads: A New History of the World <\/em>(2005)<\/li>\n<li>History of Natural Resources: Ed Conway<em>, Material World: The Six Raw Materials that Shape Modern Civilization <\/em>(2023)<\/li>\n<li>Food history: Tom Standage<em>, An Edible History of Humanity <\/em>(2009)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Here are the questions to prepare and that will be discussed.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ol>\n<li><em>To what extent does your book challenge the idea that history is primarily shaped by massive empires, great leaders, and political events?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What new perspectives or insights about the past does your book\u2019s historical lens allow you to see that might otherwise have been missing from a more traditional, state-centered history?<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>When historians choose to examine the past through one specific lens, they often do so at the exclusion of other lenses.
