| Summary: | Crymble's history of how these issues evolved affords historians the opportunity to understand what is still an evolving transformation in how they work and think about their discipline. In fact, Crymble includes a sensible glossary of the terms that have become increasingly popular in disciplines more comfortable with computing, hoping that more historians will adopt them. Although he is fixated on the use of a shared vocabulary, his book clearly demonstrates that historians, like scholars in other fields, walked many paths toward computing. |
