'''History''' is the study of the past, focused on human activity and leading up to the present day. Whitney, W. D. (1889). [http://books.google.com/books?id=wrACAAAAIAAJ The Century dictionary; an encyclopedic lexicon of the English language]. New York: The Century Co. Page [http://books.google.com/books?id=wrACAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover#PPA2842,M1 2842]. All that is remembered of the past and preserved in some form is seen as the historical record.[http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn WordNet Search - 3.0], "History". Some historians study universal history, comprising all that has been recorded of the human past and all that can be deduced from artifacts. Others focus on certain methods, such as [[chronology]], [[demographics]], [[historiography]], [[genealogy]], [[paleography]], and [[cliometrics]], or areas, for example [[History of Brazil (1889–1930)]], [[History of China]], or [[History of Science]].
