Divided into six major themes of being a  local historian, topics and sources, staying relevant,  getting it right, writing history, and history  organizations, the book covers the scope and breadth of  local history. Each chapter features one of Carol Kammen's  memorable editorials from History News. Her editorial is a  'call.' Each is followed by a response from one of more  than five dozen prominent players in state and local  history. These Respondents include local and public  historians, archivists, volunteers, and history  professionals across the kaleidoscopic spectrum of local  history. The result is a series of dialogues on important  topics in the field of local history. This interactivity of  these conversations makes Zen and the Art of Local History  a unique offering in the public history field"--Provided by  publisher.},
