Media Reviews
I have found this book to be a good resource for students to use to enhance their knowledge of the topics that we have covered in class. The summary spreads are of invaluable use and are very clear and concise. As a teacher I think that this book provides a good overview of the issues and topics of study. Graeme Rowe, Little Heath School, Reading This is the main book I use. It is clear and simple, and I particularly like the exam tips, key quotes, little tasks and consistent layout. Faith Pilgrim, St Michael & All Angels Church of England Academy, London Beautifully set out. Very easy to access information. Students in particular liked the diagrams and the revision hints. Very good to use with mixed ability classes. Malcolm Giles, St Teresas School, Surrey
