fucking goodreads deleted my review, so the abridged version: good introduction to what historians and social theorists--in sociology, anthropology, and literary/cultural theory--can learn from one another. not as good, however, as Alex Callinicos's book Social Theory, not only for its politics, but also its superior structure, arrangement, and comprehensiveness.

General historiography and social theory - how social scientists can share information to assist each others' research. I read this during graduate school a few years back, but I remember being impressed with it at the time.
