In 1998, Peter N. Stearns wrote an essay for the American Historical Association entitled 'Why Study History?'

This essay defines comprehensively and clearly why a study of history is important.  He also describes the 'Labratory of the Human Experience'  that one gains access to when they do make a careful study of the subject.

Join me as I read this amazing essay and discuss its import.
