	Living History - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Activities related to "reenactment" are not new; there were tournaments in the Middle Ages which would have Roman or other earlier themes, and the Victorians recreated medieval furnishings, such as tapestries.
		However, historical reenactment as a serious pursuit of practical historical interest, beyond mere "wash-and-wear wizardry" (re-inventing history as an entertainment to suit contemporary convenience or sensibilities), seems to be an invention of the 20th century.
		The term living history describes attempts to bring history to life, either for an audience, or for the participants themselves.

	Living History Activity and Children's Literature
		One of the most exciting things that has happened for students of history and the general public in recent years is the creation of living history museums.
		With the living museum as motivation, the students will approach the necessary historical research on a much more personal and immediate level than they would if the assignment were to write a report, answer questions on a test, or even create a display.
		Keep in mind that many of the "real" living history museums train their interpreters in a few weeks and most of that training is background history of the period in general.

		Living history, ook wel bekend als re-enactment, is het uitbeelden en herbeleven van militaire- en burgergeschiedenis.
		Daarbij geven we die kennis weer door en kunnen vaardigheden geleerd worden die vroeger vanzelfsprekend waren, zoals het aanmaken van een kampvuur met behulp van een vuursteen en vuurstaal, maar ook het uitvoeren van militaire marsformaties volgens de reglementen uit de betreffende periode.
		Living history is dus eigenlijk ook een vorm van experimentele archeologie waar je niet alleen van alles kunt leren, maar ook van alles zelf ontdekt.

		When it is not the book they thought she should write, they judge it "bad." Obviously, many thought "Living History" should contain lurid "insider" details of what was never any of their business in the first place - the personal, intimate relationship in a marriage.
		"Living History" is interesting in that it tells what it feels like in a personal sense to experience the ins and outs of American politics.
		Hillary is one of the most villified woman in American history and the knee-jerk negative reaction of some of the Amazon's reviewers (many who apparently never bothered to read this book) is just an another example of the right wing conspiracy against her.
