Understanding Quantitative History [Book Review] AND Quantitative Methods for Historians [Book Review]

Abstract

It has been a generation since anyone published a textbook on quantitative methods for historians. Long outmoded by developments in computer technology and statistical techniques, the earlier volumes have neither been comprehensively updated nor replaced. Now, suddenly, we have two new introductory-level texts, both coauthored by a historian and a statistician, both intended for self-study as well as undergraduate and graduate classroom use, both approachable and well written. Which should one choose and why?
