4.0 out of 5 stars very helpful for modes of inquiry college course, November 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Search for Emma's Story: A Model for Humanities Detective Work (Paperback)
this book is one that i had to read for my modes of inquiry class in college. it is very pertinent in helping the reader figure out a good way to go in depth in a research project. this book shows how different ways of looking at the same things can produce different results. this book is also good for those people who enjoy the history of interesting people that are usually unheard of. "Emma's Story" is one like this, and i would recommend it to anyone in the modes of inquiry class or to someone who enjoys a good humanities detective book.
