Historians, like any professional community, use a specific vocabulary made up of recognizable words, ritual terms, standardized expressions, and concepts.

The historian's words are a handy dictionary of terms used by scientists and researchers, useful not only for students of social sciences and historians but also for anyone who wants to have a valid update on the science of History and the evolution of historical discourse.

This book clearly presents, within the framework of interdisciplinary dialogue, the key concepts of historiography, the main trends and currents, the debates between different schools, the new scientific approaches, as well as the epistemological problems that concern historians.
