Public History

Essays from the Field edited by James B Gardner and Peter S LaPaglia...what a great book for someone going into the field of Public History.  Several essays on the different jobs, controversies, and issues facing those in the field.  Written by people already in the field they discuss how they arrived at their jobs and some of the challenges and rewards.  Loved the book....but would not recommend to the average reader.  If you love history and wonder what sorts of jobs you could manage with that love of history, this is the book for you!
