The second edition of Public History: A Textbook of Practice offers a persuasive account of what public history is and how it is practiced. It makes a strong case for the importance of public history in today's world and the role it can play in shaping our futures for the better.

Praise for the 1st edition:
Are you asking yourself what "public history" means? For the first time Thomas Cauvin describes the complex architecture of the field. This excellent textbook anticipates where the field is going internationally. All current debates are dealt with: cultural heritage, people's history, media, the past exhibited, digital public history, the uses of the past, teaching, civic engagement, and more. The practice of history in public is now illuminated by the author's capacity to jump from field to theory and back.
- Serge Noiret, President, International Federation for Public History, European University Institute
